Representing Southend Museums this week at Museums Association #Museums22!

A very lovely visit from the amazing Southend Museums team yesterday. We showed them around our collections spaces, galleries, ships and stores.

Great presentation by Elizabeth Darling last week at V&A Dundee for the conference 'Synthetic Histories: Plastics, Climate and Colonialism'. The talk explored the history of Ekco sets made for export to the international market and included photos from Southend Museums collection.

It’s finally here! So excited to see the work of so many #dresshistory friends @glassbuttons @LucieWhitmore Hannah Wroe Beatrice Behlen Dr Eliza McKee . Valerie Wilson Vanessa Jones Ciara Phipps. Thanks to our wonderful editors Bethan Bide @jadehalbert Dr. Liz Tregenza
