Board Members

 

Jo Quinton-Tulloch

Jo Quinton-TullochJo became Head of the National Science and Media Museum in September 2012.  She believes that museums have a key role to play within communities,  not only preserving and conserving our cultural heritage but also offering opportunities for people to learn, share and be inspired.

Jo’s career in museums began in 1993 at the Science Museum, London.  Since then she has worked with different collections around the country, from maritime collections in Cornwall to the media collections in Bradford.  She has been responsible for the delivery of numerous exhibitions, from small temporary displays to multi-million pound, award-winning permanent galleries.

Jo is delighted to have the opportunity to shape the programmes at the National Media Museum and offer greater access to its collections and expertise.  The film programme and the film festivals are important cornerstones in the Museum’s yearly calendar and Bradford’s UNESCO City of Film status offers huge opportunities for greater participation in film, in all its guises.

Jo is also delighted to have moved to Yorkshire where she can enjoy her other passion – cycling. Nor can she quite believe her luck, with the Tour de France starting in Yorkshire in 2014!
