MUSEUM X

Reimagining museums. Reconnecting histories. Creating new possibilities.

Museum X is an experimental museum and cultural organisation exploring how heritage is researched, interpreted and experienced.

Working with communities, artists, researchers and cultural institutions in the UK and internationally, we bring Black histories, living memory and creative practice into conversation.

Through collaborative projects, ethical research and new approaches to museum-making, we challenge inherited narratives, develop more inclusive cultural practice and explore what museums can become.

Our Black British Museum Project remains central to this journey, not just as a future destination, but as an ongoing process of experimentation, collaboration and collective imagination.

...exploring Black culture and intangible heritage in Britain holds a quiet kind of power. People don’t recognise that they are in possession of such powerful stories.
