OUR STORY

 

The Black British Museum Project came about following conversations at the Museums Association Conference in 2019. A group of museum professionals discussed the idea for a panel provocation entitled Black British Museum: is this the future?

 

Sandra Shakespeare set up the Black British Museum Project in spring 2020.

The project was conceived as a collaboration between museum professionals, curators, academics, researchers and creatives. The goal is initially to enable a programme of online exhibitions and events, with the aim of eventually securing a physical space for a new museum.
