Young Leeds curators make history with top award win

The Preservative Party, a group of determined young curators who stuck together during the pandemic to work on a series of socially-conscious exhibitions and innovative digital displays scooped up the prestigious Marsh Award for volunteering.

Made up of history-lovers all aged 14-24, the group has been working with Leeds Museums and Galleries for more than a decade, planning and curating a series of eye-catching exhibitions at Leeds City Museum and travelled down to London’s British Museum earlier this week, where they were named joint regional winners.
