Philosophy and Museums - Royal Institute of Philosophy Annual Conference 2013

I draw your attention to an upcoming conference and series of public events running from 23rd – 26th July. The conference is sponsored by the Royal Institute of Philosophy and the public events are sponsored by the School of Education and the School of Humanities.
