Ten original and provocative speakers will Pecha Kucha their way through the museum or science centre of their wildest dreams. What does the centre look like? What will it promote or oppose? How will it fire up the public’s mind?

Speakers have been instructed to leave their comfort zones, stretch their imaginations to the limit and find their inner poet. There will be no ‘this-is-what-our-museum-is-doing’ or ‘best practices’ narratives. This session is about fresh ideas, imagination, desire and uncharted waters. “Such stuff as dreams are made on”, as the bard (Shakespeare) said.

To extend the discussion beyond the session, you are all invited to share your dreams for our sector online (via Twitter #Ecsite2013 #dreams or LinkedIn group Scicom dreams) or on paper in the session room.
