Join us Monday 17 June at 2 pm GMT for the live Art Talk " Behind the Scenes: curating an exhibition, from start to finish " with William Greenwood, Curator of Metalwork, +Museum of Islamic Art (MIA).
The majority of people, even many who work in museums are not entirely sure of what curators do. Drawing on his recent experiences at the Museum of Islamic Art, William Greenwood will address one of the most public aspects of the curator’s role… that of putting together temporary exhibitions.
In this hangout, he will show how this happens, from the moment of inspiration which sets the process in motion, to the opening night of the show and beyond. From the glorious to the mundane, this is a curator’s-eye view of the life-cycle of an exhibition.

May 16th at 12pm E.S.T., we will be celebrating International Museum Day with the +Museo Nacional de Arte MUNAL in Mexico, who will be giving an Art Talk about: “New technologies, new audiences: does the museum respond to the demands and conditions of the contemporary world?”
Ask your questions on this page and we will ask them to the speakers during the live!
Don’t miss this Art Talk which will see a panel of speakers from the Museo Nacional de Arte discuss the challenges and opportunities of the museum within contemporary society. Can the museum shy away from social engagement in the construction of meaning in today´s world?
They will pose questions regarding the traditional ways of approaching art versus new trends in the development of museum public programs. What happens when the person and the museological proposal encounter?
