New Museum Association Representative for the East Midlands

August 11, 2014

Simon Brown, Artefact Loans Officer at Nottingham City Museums and Galleries is delighted to have been asked to be the new Museums Association Representative for the East Midlands.

Simon is here to act as a link between the Museums Association (MA) and its members (both individual and institutional), and to help keep the MA informed of what is happening in our region.

About Simon

“I am the Artefact Loans Officer for Nottingham City Museums and Galleries, managing the Access Artefacts handling collection. I am very lucky to be based in the beautiful surroundings of Wollaton Park. It is my job to manage the collection of 11,000 objects and to develop the use of the collection within the service and with outside partners, including schools. My post is funded by Arts Council England.

I grew up in Leeds and moved to Nottingham in 2001 to study Heritage Studies with Human Geography at Nottingham Trent University, graduating in 2004. I am also currently studying for the AMA.

I have worked in many different roles in museums, including as a museum assistant, curator, education assistant, gallery install technician and documentation assistant. I have been involved in some fantastic and ambitious projects, including House of Memories, Universal Roots, the Future of Museums and Galleries to Go.”
