Below are a few photos from our activities for Universities Week 2014. Many thanks to Andrew Baldwin, Jen Loffman and Phil Garratt for delivering these enlightening sessions.
Each talk was accompanied by an enthusiastic audience who challenged the speakers with some great questions. The accompanying exhibition ‘Wood, Down, Farm, Field: Art in the Aftermath’ is still on show until the 1st of August. The exhibition has been curated and hung by museum staff and two student volunteers, Karen Westendorf and Melanie Howard.
