International Mountmakers Forum (IMF)Kick-Start Event
Natural History Museum- London, UK
15 April, 2015
Last month our group took a big step forwardwhen the Natural History Museum in London hosted an informal InternationalMountmakers Forum meeting. The event was co-organized by Helen Walker (NaturalHistory Museum) and Sam Gatley (Victoria and Albert Museum) to inform museum professionals in the UK(and Europe) about the IMF and to generate support for a future UK IMFconference. Thanks to Helen and Sam’s efforts, the meeting was a hugesuccess with over a 150 in attendance! This was the first time an eventdedicated solely to mountmaking has taken place in the UK and the meeting feltvery much like the first IMF hosted at Getty Museum in 2008- lots of enthusiasmfor the profession, with many connections being made. Given the turnoutat the event, it underscored the interest in mountmaking in the UK and thedesire to connect professionally. It also set the groundwork for a futureIMF conference in London- hopefully #6 in 2018!
Many thanks again to Helen and Sam for all oftheir efforts!
