Madison Kuras

Australian Museum Project Officer, Climate Solutions Centre

Madison Kuras (she/her) is the Project Officer for the Australian Museum’s Climate Solutions Centre, where she works to increase public engagement in climate solutions through museum exhibitions, programming, and multimedia projects.

A lifelong student of science and somewhat of a chatterbox, Madison’s love of science communication took her out of the lab and into the halls of science museums across the globe. From the American Museum of Natural History and Climate Museum in New York City, all the way to the South Georgia Museum off the Antarctic coast, Madison has worked on exhibitions and programmes dedicated to bringing climate information to worldwide audiences. Madison is now happily ensconced in the halls of the Australian Museum, where she is exploring how museums can serve as sites for change, and looks to use community engagement to find affirming climate solutions.

Madison holds an M.Phil. in Polar Studies from the University of Cambridge and an M.Litt. in Museum and Heritage studies from the University of St Andrews. She also holds a B.A. in Biology and Environmental Science from Bowdoin College.
