This talk will feature an in-depth guided gallery tour of our latest temporary exhibition, Telling Tales - Making Stories come to Life by members of the student curatorial team that developed the exhibition over a 9 month period, followed by a discussion of the many ways in which stories can be told and how the exhibition was created, and a chance to ask questions.
The exhibition features a diverse and exciting collection of storytelling artefacts, including shadow puppets, theatre costumes, folk instruments, anime cels, movie posters, and more from various cultures and time periods showcase the universality of telling tales.
Free, no booking required.
This exhibition has been curated by students studying for the MA in Museum and Artefact Studies at Durham University.
