THE first talk of the year presented by the Friends of the Willis Museum will feature Tim Schadla-Hall, a former curator of the venue, speaking on the topic ‘The future of museums today’.

Tim works in the Institute of Archaeology at University College, London.

In the Willis on Thursday, January 17 from 7.30pm, he’ll ask what George Willis, who founded the museum more than 80 years ago, would think of current trends.
