Upstart at Showtown: People-focused museum design

Upstart: Creative Careers Festival 2024

We invite young people to come along to join us for this session on-line and find out about how we designed Blackpool's new museum of fun and entertainment.

Gary Shelley, lead exhibition designer for Casson Mann and Kerry Vasiliou of Showtown explore the process of making a museum from scratch. Rooted in working with the people who have lived, worked and visited the internationally famous seaside town of Blackpool, you will have the chance to learn all about how we created an entertaining and fun museum with clowns, magicians, electricians and acrobats!

This event will be an online event and the link will be sent a week before to your email.

Showtown is proud to provide this event as part of the Victoria and Albert Museum's Upstart Creative Careers Festival which introduces young people interested in creative careers to experience in-person and online events at V&A South Kensington, East, Dundee, Wedgwood, Sheffield Museums and now Showtown, Blackpool.
