The LSE ELLM Alumni Association presents their next Webinar. This presentation looks at the ways in which a return to the values of early museums can not only help us face the challenges presented by the current epidemic, but re-imagine our museums for a rapidly changing contemporary world. The event will be opened by an introductory welcome message of Prof. David Kershaw and closed by the intervention of Pietro Del Bufalo as current Chair of the LSE Executive LL. M. Alumni Committee. Some virtual discussions rooms will be available to the attendees who may wish to stay a bit longer online, to network, catch up with other E. LL. M. students and Alumni and ask questions about the programme and the initiatives of the Alumni Association.

James M. Bradburne is an Anglo-Canadian architect, designer and museologist who has designed world expo pavilions, science parks and international art exhibitions.
