SPEAKERS & DELEGATES NEWS
KYA YOUNG V&A WINS 'MUSEUM OF THE YEAR 2024'
All the KYA Team are delighted to hear of the award of 'Museum Of The Year 2024' by the Art Fund to the Young V&A (https://www.artfund.org/museum-of-the-year), just a week after the Know Your Audience Conference.
It's richly deserved recognition for a transformative project and on-going hard work and dedication to create a Young V&A museum for young people like no other.
We were fascinated to hear all about the museum from Catherine Ritman Smith during her inspiring Keynote presentation on a 'View From A Museum: Lasting Memories And New Connections With Young Audiences And Families At Young V&A' at KYA, opening a day focused on discussing school and college Open Events & Personal Tours.
Many congratulations to Catherine and her colleagues on this appreciation for all their effort and achievement so far.
With the Young V&A celebrating its 1st year anniversary only last week, we look forward to all the exciting innovation they have in store for us in the coming months and years!
