Maurice Kelly Lecture
Each year the UNE Museum of Antiquities (UNEMA) invites a distinguished speaker to deliver the Annual Maurice Kelly Lecture. Established in 1997, this lecture has as its aim the dissemination of research undertaken on museum objects. The series addresses the conservation, exhibition, ethical, and educational roles of museums and collecting institutions, and their engagement with the wider community.
