Ely Museum’s Young Curators Club is for young people in school years 8 through 11.

Meeting monthly at the museum after school, the group will work together in collaboration with the staff at Ely Museum to create something new for the museum, such as exhibitions, events or tours.

They will have the chance to explore the collection behind the scenes at Ely Museum, learn more about the way museums operate and discover more about our local history.

Young Curators is a fun, inclusive place to meet new people and learn new things.  It is also a great way to develop your skills and add something interesting to your CV and university or college applications.

Our first project will be to create a new temporary exhibition at the museum, after which the Young Curators Club, in collaboration with the museum staff, will decide on our next project together.

If you have any questions, please email Emily on emily@elymuseum.org.uk
