Dissertation topic
This collaborative project, between Queen’s University Belfast and the National Museums Northern Ireland, is focused on asking how we can best maintain living museums as a social and an academic space. The aim of the project is to identify and address what is required to maintain a living museum, using geospatial technologies and remote sensing to aid the decision-making process for the teams on the ground involved in conservation and adaptation strategies at Living Museums. The resulting methodology and framework would be applicable to all folk/ living museums, with this initial study being focused on the Ulster Folk Museum in Cultra, Co.Down.
