Stephen Barker, Oxfordshire County Council Museums Service, gives a short talk for Oxford University Museums Staff Conference. For the current Oxford University Museums Partnership funded 'Oxfordshire in 50 Objects' exhibition produced by Oxfordshire Museums Services, community partners were asked to choose the artefacts. This presentation highlights two chosen artefacts, why they were chosen and how visitors interact with them.

Interacting with Artefacts, Oxfordshire Collections Project

On 29 September 2016 staff from across the four Oxford University Museums (Ashmolean Museums, Museum of the History of Science, Museum of Natural History and Pitt Rivers Museum) gathered for an afternoon of short ‘lightning talks’ about current projects and activities. The aim of the event was to share knowledge, expertise and inspiration between colleagues working across the museums, and advocate for the important role that the museums plan within the university, and beyond. Find out about upcoming exhibitions, community outreach work, behind the scenes collections projects and digital engagement initiatives.
