Lindsay Gerard Sharp is a museologist who lives near Wollongong/Gerringong in the coastal hinterland of New South Wales in Australia.
[citation needed] He started his museological career at the Science Museum in London the same year he received his PhD, and for the next three decades worked all over the world.
He was founding director of the Dana Centre, and helped to re-plan the entire Science Museum Group, in all aspects, developing new strategic plans for the large and complex sites at each museum and enhancing the SMG's global electronic and educational engagement and reach.
[3] Sharp's concern to draw more of the Science Museum's collection to the attention the public was sustained.
