ITP 2015 – Room 3 Proposals!
I’m sure you’re all eager to learn about what our 2015 ITP participants got up to during their time in the UK – especially with their Room 3 exhibition proposals. It’s truly wonderful to see all the creativity, passion and effort that goes into the proposals each year, and this year’s Supporters reception saw some great ideas and concepts come to life.
From teapots to tablets, from conservation to education, our participants were able to share their specialisms and expertise to BM staff, sponsors and other invited guests.
It was a wonderful evening and our thanks go to all those who helped participants prepare their objects, set up displays, and organise set-up – and also to the catering and wait staff!
