Nina will be taking up the role of CEO at the Leeds Library, the oldest surviving subscription library of its type in the UK.

Dr Rose Wallis, Chair of the Museum’s Board of Trustees, said: “On behalf of the Board of Trustees, we’re very proud of everything Nina has achieved at Shire Hall Museum. Whilst we’re sad to see her go, we’re equally excited for her in new role at the Leeds Library. We wish her all the very best.”

Nina has been an incredible asset to Shire Hall Museum. After joining the team in October 2022, Nina has made vital developments to the Museum and its operation. With a significant increase in operational income and new strategies in place, Nina leaves the Museum in a much stronger position.

Nina Corey, Director of Shire Hall Museum, said: “I’ve really enjoyed my time at Shire Hall Museum, and I am grateful to the staff, volunteers and trustees for making me feel so welcomed and valued.

A small team with a big ambition, I am constantly impressed by their passion and commitment that make Shire Hall Museum the very best that it can be.

Shire Hall Museum is such an important part of Dorset’s history, and also has national and international significance. As well as sharing this incredible building and its history with its visitors, the Museum is committed giving a voice to under-represented people in the past, present and future. I have every confidence in its continued success and look forward to hearing about new developments.’
