Wikipedia:GLAM/New Art Gallery Walsall



As of 16 April 2013, Andy Mabbett is Wikipedian in Residence at The New Art Gallery Walsall.

The Museums Association wrote a case study on the residency.

Events


A series of public events were held in May and June, with backstage pass tours and edit-a-thons. The focus was on the Gallery's collection and related articles, but attendees also used the extensive library to research other topics.
