Sharon Heal, the director of the Museums Association, meets Jane Henderson, a professor of conservation at Cardiff University, for our Radical Museums podcast.

Jane is a long-standing activist and has recently campaigned successfully against the closure of the Museum of Cardiff.

Sharon and Jane discuss the power of museums and their collections, the joys of Cardiff, approaches to culture in Wales, tackling racism in Wales, and the challenges of working in museums today, particularly for those looking to enter the sector.
