MuBu's Our Hidden Heritage
MuBu’s Northamptonshire Museums Forum ‘Our Hidden Heritage’
Judith Alnatt is working with the Museum Forum and Youth Forum, to promote the Northamptonshire museums and collections to a wider audience. She is helping the groups to respond imaginatively to sites visited around Northampton, and working with them to document their experiences, as well as encouraging the young people to get more involved with the museums. Judith is also running writing workshops, building on characters the group has created through these outings.
