Museums Trust takes on a new curator
SCARBOROUGH Museums Trust has a new curator.
Jan Bee Brown, who has worked with Sir Alan Ayckbourn since 1993 including designing the current summer season at the Stephen Joseph Theatre, is the team's new Curator of Exhib-itions.
She has spent 22 years designing for theatre in Britain, Europe and India and is currently an external assessor at Edinburgh College of Art.
Ms Brown will be responsible in her new role for initiating and managing Scarb-orough Museums Trust's entire range of exhibitions whether that are gallery-based or stem from work linked to Scarborough Collections or the Rotunda Museum.
She said: "I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with the team at Scarborough Museums Trust, with a broad arts background and interest in social history I am looking forward to gaining an in-depth knowledge of the collections managed by the Trust."
She added: "I am also looking forward to developing future exhibitions sharing the astonishingly diverse and eclectic stories attached to these treasures with the Trust's current friends and with new audiences. I would love people to let me know what they would like to see."
Karen Snowden, Head of Collections, said: "I am delighted that Jan is joining the team. We want to plan and present exhibitions which are diverse and offer something to each of the different communities in the Scarborough area. The breadth of Jan's background uniquely equips her to carry this through successfully."
