Peter Bjerregaard holds a PhD in anthropology and works as program manager at Danish Museum for Science and Technology. Until recently he was senior adviser of exhibitions at Museum of Cultural History, University of Oslo.

He has been project leader and curator for a number of exhibitions, among them COLLAPSE – human being in an unpredictable world and Letting go. Together with Anders Emil Rasmussen and Tim Flohr Sørensen, he edited Materalities of Passing: Explorations in Transformation, Transition and Transience (2016).
