Museums Showoff - An open mic night for everyone who works in or loves museums June 27th, Camden Head, Camden, London

"After a first gig packed with the cream of London's museum talent, both on stage and in the audience, Museums Showoff is back for a second go. Museums Showoff is an open mic night featuring curators, conservators, librarians, collectors, Museum Studies students, archaeologists, social historians, educators, multimedia developers, explainers, visitors, theorists and everyone else associated with museums and library special collections.
