Consequential Relevance

This presentation outlines a way forward for the museum sector amidst changing priorities in an unstable world. Emlyn seeks to inspire reflection on mission-critical matters with bold rethinking about traditional ways and means.

The keynote presentation is graciously sponsored by the Travelling Exhibition Program of the Canadian Museum of History and the Canadian War Museum.
