Today we hear from Sarah-Jane Harknett who is Co-ordinator for the Cambridge University Museum of Archeology & Anthropology.
TOPIC - The Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology goes nuclear !
Sarah-Jane Harknett heads up the Public Engagement and Learning programmes at the Cambridge Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology. She began her career at the Museum auditing the Museum’s incredible collections, before moving into museum education - so she knows them inside out !
In her varied role, Sarah-Jane can be found chanting the name of a Maya king with groups of primary school children, encouraging families to paint with sticks in the galleries or leading audio described tours for people with visual impairments. - so a very novel approach to the material !
