The Museum Work Experience Grant 2025 has been awareded to Elizabeth (Lizzie) Turner, a MA student at the University of Winchester, for a project with Petersfield Museum and Art Gallery.
Petersfield Museum and Art Gallery is working with Elizabeth (Lizzie) Turner, a student at the University of Winchester studying towards an MA in Cultural Heritage and Resource Management, to prepare for display objects for two temporary art exhibitions opening in 2026. Lizzie will collaborate with Museum staff on research, conservation reporting, photography and mounting. Lizzie will audit these items to ensure accuracy and identify any overlooked pieces.
Following this, approximately seven to ten items will be selected for the exhibition and prepared for display. Additionally, exhibition text, labels and a longer publication for the museum's website will be created. This will significantly support the Museum by updating collection details, providing new research, condition reports and photography, ultimately enhancing the accessibility of our Fashion collection.
Lizzie commenced her MWEG experience in August. We look forward to hearing more about this exciting project as it unfolds.
