Celebrating Diversity: An LGBTQ+ Tour of Oxford University’s Museums and Collections
Beth Asbury, Assistant to the Director and Administration Team, Pitt Rivers Museum, gives a short talk for Oxford University Museums Staff Conference. Beth shares an Oxford University Museums Partnership Innovation Fund project to create a printed trail across the collections providing new perspectives on some of their objects written by volunteers from Oxford’s LGBTQ+ community. This is a response to a lecture by Professor Richard Parkinson of the Oriental Institute calling for more explicit, not implicit, representations of the LGBTQ+ experience in all museums.
