Thomas Söderqvist You still have another two weeks left to register for what seems to become a very exciting conference on museological issues at the Manchester Museum, viz., “Nature behind glass: historical and theoretical perspectives on natural science collections”, Thursday 6th – Saturday 8th September 2007.
This international symposium aims to promote and communicate inter-disciplinary research on historical, theoretical and museological aspects of natural history museums. Bringing together a critical mass of scholarship engaged in research in this area, the conference will develop a theoretical community concerned with ‘natural museology’. Papers provide innovative methodological or reflexive insights and are based on original research.
For full programme details and booking form, see www.arts.manchester.ac.uk/naturebehindglass is invited by 30 June 2007. Full rate: £25 per day. You can also contact Sam Alberti at sam.alberti@manchester.ac.uk.
