Online events

Knowledge Exchange is a national programme developed by the British Museum and supported by the Vivmar Foundation.  It enables the British Museum to partner with a diverse range of museums, galleries and heritage organisations across the UK, supporting staff to share knowledge, skills and best practice and promoting their individual professional development.

Each year, the National Programmes team hosts a major conference at the British Museum. The conference is part of the British Museum’s Knowledge Share programme, which creates skills-sharing, training and professional development opportunities for colleagues in the UK museum and cultural heritage sector
