Emeline Winston

Emeline has extensive experience of the museum and exhibition world gleaned from twenty years at the Royal Academy of Arts, London, and over a decade of subsequent consultancy roles.

As Head of Exhibitions Organisation at the RA, Emeline was responsible for the development, management and production of all exhibitions, installations, and exhibition programming, working closely with curators to create and produce a diverse range of blockbuster exhibitions.

Emeline ran negotiations with other museums internationally to establish multi-venue exhibition tours, including agreeing contracts and fee structures and all relevant liaisons between venues and lenders. She also led the often detailed and complex loan requests with museums and private collectors. Working on larger survey exhibitions involved building relationships and agreeing contracts with international state bodies or embassies to enable cultural exchanges such as with Russia, China, Mexico, and Turkey.

Emeline managed the Exhibitions, Conservation, and Photographic teams internally and the external exhibition consultants, including guest curators, exhibition designers, and graphic designers.

In 2011, after a year of consultancy at the British Museum, Emeline and Sian set up Caring for Your Collection.
