  Tim Corum has worked in a number of major city museums and art galleries in the UK, developing creative content at Oldham, Leeds, Bristol, and most recently the Horniman in London. In Bristol he offered artists space and licence to intervene in and reframe the museum and art gallery. He also led the creative team that developed the new museum of Bristol, M Shed, built on the principles of co-curation. In 2015 Tim became a director at the Horniman, where his commitment to working in participation with the public and engaging with artists continues. His work at the Horniman is focussed on developing participatory programmes which bring practitioners from a wide variety of artistic and creative backgrounds together with communities to make public events that resonate with the museum's extraordinary collections.
