British training for SA curators
Britain is offering up to 30 training places at some of its museums to help train young South African curators. The British Museum, the Natural History Museum, the Museum of London and the Horniman Museum in south London have agreed to provide six-month placements that will help South Africans develop their museum management and specialist curatorial abilities. The scheme, to cost £300 000 for the next three years, is being paid for by the British government under a partnership with the South African department of arts and culture.
