Conference Review: Managing Archaeological Open-Air Museums: Current Issues, Future Trends

Abstract

In late May 2015, St Fagans National History Museum in Wales organized a three day meeting in and around Cardiff for OpenArch. This is a European Culture Project with 11 partners that work to improve archaeological open-air museums. The first day of the meeting was a conference on issues and trends in archaeological open-air museums, with the second day being a large craft festival at St Fagans’ open-air museum. The third day was spent in and around Big Pit, the National Coal Museum. This review is about the first day.
