Nature’s Library

(Manchester Museum, 2013–)

Creating a mysterious ‘library of nature’

Developed to complement the Living Worlds gallery, this gallery capitalised on the Museum’s gothic-revival architecture to create a mysterious ‘library of nature’, and explored both the scope and importance of stored natural history collections in museums, and their present uses to answer a wide range of scientific and environmental research questions. I co-led the development of the project, from the concept and funding application, through content and interpretation development, and accompanying programming.
