Jenny wants to know how historical places retain people’s emotions.
She is a true cultural ambassador and has a great deal of experience having worked across many cultural organisations, including the V&A and Historic Royal Palaces.
Currently, Jenny Pistella is teaching at Queen Mary University, London, where she is also working towards her PhD.
Could historical places remain haunted by the emotions or feelings of people who had inhabited them? Could we, as visitors of historical sites and places, still experience those emotions today?
These are the questions Jenny is trying to find answers to.

Liam believes that museums are not neutral, and wants them to challenge themselves to always be more inclusive, empathetic, and radical. He believes in the power museums have to go beyond their fundamental role as holders of history, and use that knowledge to present a bold and fair vision for the future. He wants to see museums decolonise their collections, and provide more people with the power to make the decisions over what gets collected and displayed. But most of all, he really just wants museums to be more fun.
