How should museums navigate contentious narratives—from pseudoscientific theories to misrepresented history and culture wars? This session will explore the challenges of presenting diverse subjects critically and ethically, promoting historical integrity, resisting harmful ideologies, and fostering informed public engagement. Your input will help shape the approach at Hereford Museum & Art Gallery, ensuring our exhibitions reflect the values of Herefordshire. This event is part of the Public Assemblies, a series of discussions inviting community voices into key decisions guiding the museum’s redevelopment.
