Biography
UW Professional & Continuing Education
Brooks Peck currently works as an independent curator and writer. Before that, he was a senior curator at the Museum of Pop Culture, where he worked for more than 17 years. During that time, he drew on his knowledge of science fiction, fantasy and horror to create exhibitions about many aspects of the fantastic in popular culture. He covered topics as diverse as space-themed record album covers, Battlestar Galactica, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence and Avatar, among others. Recent exhibitions include Star Trek: Exploring New Worlds, Marvel: Universe of Superheroes and Minecraft: The Exhibition. His work focuses on immersive environments and hands-on interactive exhibits.
Peck strongly believes in accessibility in exhibitions, especially as accessibility expands to include income, education level and a wider range of voices. He sees accessibility as part of important, cutting-edge work to make museums more equitable, inclusive and relevant to all communities.
Peck holds a BA in English Literature from the University of Iowa and is UW Certificate in Museum Studies graduate.
