The activities begin on 8 March, International Women’s Day, with a specially commissioned short film '10 from 50' with commentary by Lindsey Clay, CEO of Thinkbox. The film has already caught the attention of the media with coverage in the Observer and Marie Claire and you can view the film first hand from the 8 March. There are still more activities coming up on this theme at the Museum so watch this space.
