Online Exhibition

You can access the online exhibition we'll be using throughout the project to display your work here. If you'd like your work to feature on the site then let your mentor know and they'll be able to upload it for you. We're also looking for people who would like to feature in the Participant's section of the website, so if you'd be willing to do that, do let us know either on Teams, in our group chats or by emailing museums@ed.ac.uk.
