Confessions of a Curator #5

MOSI featured on radio 4 yesterday when the well-known BBC economist Evan Davies came to Manchester.  He was making a report for the Today programme on the organisation's move north. I was asked to speak on behalf of MOSI, and Evan chose as a background for his report the atmospheric sound-scape produced by the museum's Lancashire loom and one of our gas engines - another part of our Energy story!

Evan and I discussed the story of the Industrial Revolution and the changes that Manchester has seen in recent years. It was great to have a chance to share what MOSI has to offer with the Radio 4 audience, and the team here is excited about working more with the BBC in future as they get settled into Media City.
