The Choice TV series Heritage Rescue follows Gallagher and her team as they travel the country helping museums change to meet the needs of a generation that wants its information in sound bites or social media tweets. “In the first year, people were suspicious going, ‘What is this?’ but by the second year it was more people coming and saying, ‘Hey, can you come and look at our museum?’,” Gallagher says.
