Education, institutional knowledge, and making friends with museum security guards

In this episode I muse with Lyn Beasley, who has been a key figure in educational and public programming at both the National Museum of Victoria (now called the Melbourne Museum), and the National Museum of Australia for over forty years. We discuss early inspirations, championing and producing shows, museum education, and the importance of institutional knowledge when developing museum theatre. She also tells us about what she learned from past works, and the vital importance of getting museum security guards on side if you are thinking about putting on a show.
