Nicole Ching is the co-founder of Museum 2050, a platform for investigating key issues about the future of cultural institutions in the Greater China region and for providing a place for young museum professionals to converse, share ideas and create a vibrant museum community.

Nicole graduated from UCL in Classics and read for an MSc in Visual, Material, and Museum Anthropology at Oxford. She is currently finishing up her studies as a Schwarzman Scholar at Tsinghua University.

About Museum 2050

China-based platform Museum 2050 was initiated in 2017 to consider the cultural and social impacts the exponential growth of cultural institutions will have by mid-century, and how this growth will affect audiences and ideas about existing museum frameworks. Additionally, the platform has a distinct focus on being a resource for young people from all over China, many of whom largely work and inhabit these institutions, as well as providing a place to converse, share ideas and create a vibrant museum community.
