ITP 2012: Exhibition Proposal Project

The participants were asked to develop a proposal for a small temporary exhibition based on an object or group of objects in the British Museum’s collection. The participants drew on their own interests, cultures and recent experiences of the International Training Programme at the British Museum and other UK museums. On the last day of the 2012 ITP, they presented their exhibition ideas to their fellow participants, staff from the BM and Partnership UK museums and some of the ITP sponsors.
