How the 'Making Room' project began and the ongoing role of Dundee’s Central Library

Join Peter Nurick and Alistair Wilson to hear more about the partnership between the museum and Central Library, how 'Making Room' came about, and what this unique project means to them. Alistair will also talk about how the Library is evolving and responding to the unprecedented challenges caused by the pandemic.

This pre-recorded talk will be followed by a live Q&A where you can ask direct questions about the project, learn more about the partnership and the future plans for 'Making Room' when it moves to Central Library in 2021.
