From the GLAM newsletter for June:"Representatives from around 6 museums attended, in addition to several staff from the Railway Museum itself. Wyatt gave the keynote speech, followed by a Q&A.

In the afternoon we split into a NRM-specific table with myself, and a more general one with Liam, with Simon and others moving between them. We overran considerably & were still going at closing time. Only a brief chance to see most of the museum, but we had a good look at the new art gallery, which will I think be one focus of future collaboration, and some of us saw the impressive library & reaseach facilities.
