About

Climate Museum UK is an experimental museum that curates and gathers responses to the Earth crisis.

A collective of creatives from across the UK, we organise activations in our places with local partners to help people play, create, and talk about the crisis. We open imaginations to possible futures, and build skills to engage others with these issues.

Activation for public audiences: As individuals, we each have collections of artworks, games, curious objects, books and activities. We use these collections and practices to run activities in all kinds of venues. The team is growing all the time, extending reach across England and wider UK. For example, we have a local programme, Possitopia Norwich. 

Activation for professionals and teams: We run training workshops for teams in organisations and networks, helping you respond to the Earth crisis. These include: An Eco Lens on Things – developing public engagement around environmental issues; and Culture Takes Action – developing a holistic environmental policy and action plan. 

Projects: We also offer longer, bespoke partnership projects and learning resources, such as Imagine Futures, and Ecologies in Practice with Goldsmiths. 

Digital museum: We’re developing a digital presence, of collections or resources on Pinterest  and projects such as Everyday Ecocide and Extreme Weather Stories.

Advocacy: Our collective members are activists and advocates, supporting UK-wide and international initiatives such as Museums for Future, Lost Species Day, Culture Declares Emergency, Artists for Ecocide Law, and the United for Biodiversity Coalition.

“Museums can be outside, inside, a state of mind, a movement or a feeling. I like Climate Museum UK and Cateran Eco Museum for pointing the way to a different way of looking and seeing.” Jenny White, British Council
