Organised by the Institute for the Public Understanding of the Past at the University of York and York Museums Trust, the two-day conference "Emotion in the Museum" will explore the changing role of emotion in the experiences of museums and heritage, from the perspectives of both the visitor and the practitioner.
The conference will consider the meaning and usefulness of ‘emotion’ in its broadest sense, and explore emotions which aren’t typically attended to in academic or practitioner literature. It aims to facilitate cross-sector conversations among academic researchers and museum professionals about the role that emotions across the spectrum might play in unlocking renewed understanding of personal and collective pasts, presents and futures.
