2023 ITP fellows’ reports
We’re very pleased to share the reports written by the 2023 ITP fellows about their experience of the annual programme, and the learning they have taken with them.
For the first time since 2019, this year’s programme was held fully in person here at the British Museum and across our UK partner museum network, between the 1st July and the 13th August. The 18 fellows in this year’s cohort hailed from 14 different countries, adding to our ever-growing network of museum professionals.
