Courier Workshop Registration
The RC-WR is pleased to announce the presentation of The Courier Training Program Workshop at the Asian Art Museum, August 6 -7, 2026. Registration opens July 1, 2026.
The Courier Training Program Framework is a tool for developing and delivering courier training. It has been put together as a basis for promoting best practice in the museum and gallery sector. It is designed to be delivered by registrars whose role involves managing couriers for their institutions.
This was the outcome of the meeting of European Registrars Groups after the inaugural meeting in October 2015, where representatives from across Europe came together to share common experiences and ways of working together, and has been developed by Kathy Richmond (Registrar, formerly of the Museum of London and Chair, UK Registrars Group), Desirée Blomberg (Group Manager, Exhibition Coordination & Loans, Moderna Museet and Board Member, Nordic Registrars Group) and Wendela Brouwer (Head Registrar’s Office, Rijksmuseum and Chair, Nederlandse Registrars Group).
The training tools that accompany this framework are:
• Presentation and training notes
• A Courier Manual
• Template courier questionnaire
• Template courier scenarios
• Example courier scenario questions and answers
• Remote Courier implementation
