Events

The library

A series of public events were held in May and June, with backstage pass tours and edit-a-thons. The focus was on the Gallery's collection and related articles, but attendees also used the extensive library to research other topics. Training and support for people new to editing Wikipedia and is sister projects was available, using the gallery's free Wi-Fi access.

Refreshments were provided.
