Radical Museums
We’ve been exploring what radical practice and activism means for museums for a number of years. We know that museums can make a positive difference to people’s lives, and throughout this podcast series Sharon Heal and Simon Stephens from the Museums Association travel across the UK to talk to museum activists and those that are striving for and driving change.

Sharon Heal speaks to Marian Gwyn, who has worked to diversify heritage practices throughout her 30-year career in the museum sector, including producing the first exhibition on slavery at any National Trust property in 2007. More recently, with Welsh Government funding, she devised and led a transformative initiative to diversify and decolonise local museums in Wales.
Marian won the Radical Changemaker Award at our Museums Change Lives Awards 2024.
