  2. I don’t normally list events in London, but the ‘Symbiosis’ event on 14 March strikes me as especially interesting for small museums trying to develop links with industry. See https://www.eventbrite.com/e/symbiosis-masterclass-tickets-42668523703.
  3. Events timed for the BBC’s Civilisations Festival are starting, for example see the Stained Glass Museum’s http://stainedglassmuseum.com/events.html.
