Background

About Mark Berry

I have extensive and ever-growing museum experience. I am a recent MA Museum Studies graduate from UCL with a distinction. One of my key qualities is my adaptability. I am able to take on new challenges with skill and enthusiasm. I am also very adept at juggling many tasks at the same time and ensure that they are completed efficiently and to a high standard. I am currently working as a paid Curatorial Intern at Petersfield Museum. The museum has been undergoing a multi-million-pound HLF funded redevelopment. As part of my work I have been assisting with all thing’s collections. I have helped to move the collection from its temporary store back into the museum, whilst ensuring that all objects are safely transported and packaged. I have also been instrumental in completing an inventory of all objects in the stores using the collections database, Modes. I have gained a lot of curatorial experience. I have been working with volunteers to write and edit over 100 text panels which will be in the museum and on the website. My work has also included putting objects into display cases. I have also been planning and developing new exhibitions that will go on display next year.
