Preview new podcasts created through The Emotional Museum, a collaborative project where University of Glasgow researchers explore the complex feelings evoked by collections and museum spaces.
Moving beyond labels and glass cases, they ask what objects really do to us. From joy to exhaustion and from anger to ambivalence, discover how emotional responses reveal truth about power, identity and belonging – while reimagining what museums could be.
