The Association of British Transport & Engineering Museums (ABTEM) 2023 annual seminar will be held on the 4th October. It will focus on how transport collections are facing the challenge of climate change and sustainability, and how carbon reduction and environmental impacts are being tackled by museums large and small.
The emphasis of the day will be on best practice solutions that can inspire curators, volunteers, and others to help address climate change and embed environmental sustainability into their operation and work. The morning session of the seminar will be held at the LT Museum at Acton, London, followed by an afternoon walk and talk session at the nearby London Museum of Water & Steam based around the theme of ‘Sustainable Steam and Sustainable Communities’.
The seminar marks the relaunch of ABTEM and further events and activities are planned for 2024. For further details of the network, and how to join, please visit www.abtem.co.uk. A programme and full list of speakers will be announced shortly. To register an interest please contact: abtemseminar@gmail.com
