Don’t mention the war; how we talk about conflict in museums

Talking about conflict can be challenging in museums, this conference is aimed at inspiring confidence and encouraging you to be brave when approaching projects and programmes.

Throughout the day there will be sessions thinking about programming sensitively and speakers; including Dr Jenny Kidd (editor of Challenging History in the Museum); and Dr Iain Robertson, Reader in History from University of Highlands and Islands will be exploring how and if museums deal with difficult histories.
