I work as a researcher on the project UK Museums during the COVID-19 crisis: Assessing risk, closure, and resilience. It’s just one of many projects funded by AHRC researching the impact of the pandemic on the arts and humanities. At a recent workshop for some of those project teams, I found that many others are also working on research related to museums and collections. The workshop was organised by the Pandemic and Beyond project, and I wrote a summary of the museum-related research for their blog.
