The Holburne Reborn
Wednesday 1 June
Lecture Theatre 8W 1.1
The Holburne Museum re-opened to the public after its major development project on Saturday 14 May. This talk will describe this major project and all it has achieved. As well as transforming the building with Eric Parry's bold new extension, the project has transformed the way in which the Museum's collections are displayed and understood, and allowed for the Museum to play a far more vital role within the culture of the city and region than was possible before.
