Young people are working as curators in museums to create a range of exciting and innovative exhibitions, finding new ways to present objects and artefacts, discover untold stories and present hidden meanings.
Here at the agency we're working with the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council to embed Hear by Right, our participation framework, in the process to help leave a lasting legacy on how museums, libraries and archives work with young people by developing new skills and new ways of working.

Nowadays they're packed to the rafters with the latest wizardry and interactive attractions, the like of which can't fail to impress your average young person. But, all the gadgetry in the world won't make an appealing exhibition if the subject isn't rooted in young people's interests. That's where Stories of the World gets it so right, by giving young people the opportunity to reconnect with these collections and make them relevant today.
