Join a small group of ten museum professionals on an exclusive tour of the studios of world-class museum designers. The tour takes place Tuesday 10th and Wednesday 11th March.  

We’ve arranged for six leading practices - Metaphor, Casson Mann, Haley Sharpe Design, Small Back Room, Event Communications, and Purcell Miller Tritton - to open up their studios.

That means you'll get a unique opportunity to question principal designers, learn more about their design approach and philosophy, and discover the inside story on the projects they have both completed and are currently working on.

This intensive two-day programme is packed with inspirational ideas and practical advice. Each session allows you to go inside a world-class design practice where you’ll hear in-depth presentations and be able to discuss the work and approach of each studio.

The study days are designed to allow maximum discussion and interaction with the design and creative teams who will be very happy to answer your questions. Transport between studios is provided, as are refreshments and lunch on both days.

This tour is limited to a maximum of 10 delegates per day. To avoid disappointment please reserve your place today. Use the study day reservation form (see above right) or book online.
