Hello!
Just a reminder that next Friday 28 October, we are hosting a Talking Objects Celebration Day at the British Museum. The day has been led and will be hosted by BMuse, the British Museum’s Youth Panel to celebrate young people’s involvement in British Museum projects and looking ahead to future engagement.
The Talking Objects programme at the British Museum works with young people aged 13- 25, giving them a chance to engage with objects in the Museum's amazing collection and share their unique responses with the world. Participants from the programme have come together to create BMuse, and this day is their opportunity to share their ideas with you

Event Schedule
12-15:00 – BMuse, the British Museum’s Youth Panel, will be based in the British Museum’s Great Court speaking to the public, giving talks and handing out a trail of some objects they have got to know through the Talking Objects project (BMuse Base, the Great Court)
16-17:00 – Talking Objects film screening, introduced by project manager, Emma Poulter (Stevenson Lecture Theatre)
17-18:15 – What ways can young people engage with museums? Discussion and activity session (Stevenson Lecture Theatre)
The 12-15:00 session is drop in and open to all members of the public, and thereafter it is invite only for guests like yourself. There will be a timetable of talks available on the day.
It would be wonderful to see as many people here as possible, and do feel free to bring youth participants with you, as BMuse are very keen to engage with more young people in the Museum.
Do let me know if you and any young participants you work with would like to attend, and myself and BMuse look forward to meeting you!
Best Wishes,
Shauna
