Young Curators' Programme

Stevenage Museum is inviting young people with an interest in heritage and museums to gain skills and hands-on experience in a museum environment. This programme will give our young curators the chance to work on projects that explore local history, and how museums tell these stories.

This year, the programme will focus on the 80th anniversary of Stevenage New Town, specifically on the theme of Growing Up in a New Town. Part of this project will be helping the museum to pull together an exhibition on this theme, choosing objects and helping us to tell these stories.

If you are:

• Aged 14-18
• Interested in heritage, museums or public history
• Want to gain new skills and hands-on experience in a museum environment
• Meet like-minded people and make new friends

Our after-school programme runs every other Thursday 4-5.30pm starting 10 September 2026.

This year's programme will focus on Stevenage @ 80 and specifically on the theme of our upcoming exhibition Growing Up in a New Town.
