Quantifying and Mitigating Human Generated Vibration in Museum Exhibits

On 29 September 2016 staff from across the four Oxford University Museums (Ashmolean Museums, Museum of the History of Science, Museum of Natural History and Pitt Rivers Museum) gathered for an afternoon of short ‘lightning talks’ about current projects and activities. The aim of the event was to share knowledge, expertise and inspiration between colleagues working across the museums, and advocate for the important role that the museums plan within the university, and beyond. Find out about upcoming exhibitions, community outreach work, behind the scenes collections projects and digital engagement initiatives.
