Money and Medals Training Opportunities

 

Money and Medals East Midlands/South West Online Training Event: Medals in Museum Collections – Part One

Friday 29th January 2021, 10:00-13:30

Via Zoom

 

The first of our programme of Zoom events will be a joint venture between MMN, the University of Nottingham Museum and South West Heritage Trust, and will focus on medals in museum collections. The training has been split into Parts One and Two, with Part One being hosted by the University of Nottingham Museum on the 29th of January. The emphasis will be on commemorative medals, art medals, and storing museum medal collections. Part Two, hosted by South West Heritage Trust and focusing on military medals and documentation, will follow later in 2021. Whether you are new to this subject, or have been to one of our events on medals before, all are welcome.

 

This training is FREE and open to anyone working or volunteering with numismatic collections in museums in the East Midlands, South West and beyond. Booking is essential – if you would like to attend, please email [email protected] stating your name and the institution you will be representing.

 

 

Curator's Corner Christmas Special: The David Tenner

 

The latest episode of the British Museum's YouTube series is a festive special with a numismatic twist. In 2009, the BM's Department of Coins and Medals acquired some screen-used prop banknotes from the TV series Doctor Who. These notes were specially designed by the Doctor Who Art Department - to learn more about them and discover why it was necessary for them to be created, please see below!
