MGM Debates

20/11/2007


For May 2008 we are developing a programme of national debates. We are keen to help support and promote debates all round the UK. Read on to check out some of the subjects we are pursuing.


MGM Debate at the National Portrait Gallery in May 2007

These are the subjects that we think flow well from “Ideas and Innovation” – our theme for MGM2008:

- Encouraging creativity - the role of museums
- Arts and sports - do they inspire each other?
- Copy or original - what is the value of the "fake"?
- What's real in a virtual world?
- Are museums places of learning or entertainment?
- Global warming and the sustainability of museums

We have a toolkit on the website already about how to organise a debate in your museum. Take a look at that: we’ll also be happy to help you with ideas.
