A Night at the Museum: Asking Questions, Telling Stories

Museums are often seen as quiet, ordered spaces but behind the scenes lies a world of complexity, decision-making and discovery.

In this talk, Sean Kelly, collections expert from Paisley Museum will share five intriguing aspects of museum work that often go unseen by the public. From the delicate task of transporting rare artefacts to the role of science in uncovering hidden histories, this is a glimpse into the workings of the museum from the inside out.

It’s also a chance to consider how museums shape our understanding of the past and the quiet power they hold in choosing what stories we remember.

Whether you’re a regular visitor to museums or simply curious about how they operate, this is a chance to see the familiar in a new light.
