Strategies for Reducing the Carbon Impact of Temporary and Touring Exhibitions

This article was first published by the Design Museum’s Future Observatory.

The Design Museum, London has been working with URGE Collective to develop a report, supported by the UK government’s Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, on strategies for reducing the carbon impact of temporary and touring exhibitions.

The Design Museum’s guide to reducing the environmental impact of exhibitions sets out the role of each level of museum management in contributing to the reduction of the impact of exhibitions. Its intention is not only to influence material choice, but also to drive organisational change. This begins with the public acknowledgement of the Climate Crisis and the subsequent setting of policies and targets by the institution as a whole.

The report is now live and available for download.
