WORK WITH ME

Claire Bown

Hello. I’m Claire Bown.

I believe every museum visit has the potential to spark wonder and create lasting connections.

I partner with museums and educators to design experiences that turn visitors into active participants and casual observers into engaged explorers.

Here’s how we can work together

I work with museum, heritage and gallery teams worldwide, designing customised in-person and online sessions. I bring fresh perspectives and practical strategies, like The Thinking Museum® Approach and slow looking, to help you engage audiences in new ways. Book me to consult on a project or exhibition, or to design and facilitate workshops and training for your team.
My conference keynotes and workshops are always interactive and participative – no passive lectures here! I share fresh perspectives and practical strategies on engaging with objects, art, ideas and museums, slow looking and curiosity. I’ve presented at major conferences worldwide, from MuseumNext to ICOM CECA.

CLAIRE BOWN PODCAST GUEST
Book me as a podcast guest to share engaging insights about making art and museums accessible and exciting. As a podcast host myself, I know how to create great conversations. I love discussing the power of slowing down, how to really see art, making cultural spaces engaging, asking better questions, and building an independent creative practice. My journey includes writing a book, working with museums worldwide, and creating engaging experiences both online and in-person.
