The report intends to fuel broader reflection in the heritage sector on how museums can more proactively engage with class differences and structural inequalities beyond the pandemic, demonstrating the significance of using class as an analytical category in both museum theory and practice. The research for this report was undertaken at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, as part of the Museum of London ground-breaking Curating London programme.
The report concludes with a set of recommendations on how museums can best research, document and collect the ever-increasing socio-economic inequalities and class differences in Britain and elsewhere.
