Multidisciplinary programming in science museums

Science is not isolated from other aspects of human endeavour, such as history, culture, art, music etc. Science centres must effectively tap into multiple disciplines. Some have done this for considerable time, while others are discovering the multidisciplinary world. Panellists will present examples of science centres with substantial multidisciplinary experience and others currently expanding their missions and visions. This exploration of multidisciplinary programming will touch on partnerships, planning strategies and programme evaluation, as well as possible challenges raised by mission, political situation or finances. Collaborations with the general public will be discussed – they bring unique skills, information, perspectives and community resources in fields such as music, history or art.
