Making Landmarks

The Making Landmarks programme works with local organisations that support underrepresented young people. Launched in 2021, it aims to build new relationships and shift perceptions, making the museum more accessible in future.

We work in partnership with young people over a 2-month period to creatively respond to stories, themes and objects from the collection that represent identity, belonging and migration. 

The outcomes of each project will be showcased in the wider community and act as a public landmark for the period of display. ‘Landmarks’ will pop up on billboard posters, in libraries and within shopping centres. They will signpost the thoughts, feelings and voices of young people in conversation with the museum collection. As a navigational tool, these landmarks will also play a pivotal role in widening the museum audience.

Making Landmarks aims to reach new audiences and play a critical role in developing a future museum where young people can develop a sense of belonging, feel safe and are positively represented.

If you are an organisation that works with young people in care, young offenders, or young people living with a mental health condition and would like to be involved, then please get in touch by emailing youngpeople@rmg.co.uk.
