The next Association for Transport and Engineering Museums (ABTEM) seminar will be held at the Wheal Martyn Museum, St Austell, Cornwall, and is titled ‘Overexposure- Caring for Objects that have to Stay Outside’ and will deal with the trials and tribulations or looking after objects that sit outside museums.

Full details and list of speakers will be announced shortly. There will be plenty of opportunity to network and exchange ideas and strategies, and to catch up on the progress with the Arts Council-funded revision of the Standards in the Museum Care of Larger and Working Objects project being undertaken by ABTEM and consultants IRHC.

The day will also include a guided tour of Wheal Martyn.
