Dr Chris Stephens | Museum Curation: How art can bridge the gap between historical collections and contemporary audiences

This summer, Dreweatts is delighted to be sponsoring The Holburne Museum's exhibition Henry Moore in Miniature. Dr Chris Stephens has been Director of the Holburne Museum since 2017. Before that he was for many years Head of Displays at Tate Britain where he also led the Modern British Art curatorial team. He has curated numerous exhibitions and published widely on 20th century British art. Here he tells us about his role as Museum Director, responding to current audiences and finding collections that work within the context of the museum, its collection, as well as the history of the site.
