Kate Guy

Kate’s AHRC funded Collaborative Doctoral Partnership with British Museum examines the histories and legacies of professional exhibition design practice at the British Museum (BM). By exploring the processes behind the scenes and examining the intentions, activities, experiences and the impact of the “people who make” exhibitions, this project hopes to reveal hidden and forgotten design histories. She uses oral history and archival research methods supplemented by participant observation to provide a rich body of evidence that the museum sector and scholars will be able to use to understand how broader museum exhibition design practice has developed and evolved in the UK.
