Studies, and many alumni go on to work in museums and with
collections of global significance.

Dean College is delighted to be able to support the delivery of
training in this under-resourced area and the excellent reputation
of
these courses extends beyond the UK, with participants from Europe
and as far afield as California and Argentina."
