future plans
In January 2005 we published the consultation paper Understanding the future: museums and 21st century life with the aim of stimulating a debate on the issues surrounding the Museums and Galleries sector.
The responses to the consultation strongly favoured the creation of a national strategy that would embrace the whole sector.
Collaborative working group
A collaborative working group was created to help formulate such a strategy. You can read the minutes of their meetings using the links below:
Understanding the Future: Priorities for England’s Museums Consultation
The collaborative working group have now reached their conclusions and have published Understanding the Future: Priorities for England’s Museums, which makes a series of recommendations under five topics; identity, collections, workforce, structure and learning. This latest document is a consultation and responses are invited by the 19 January 2007.
More information about the Understanding the Future: Priorities for England’s Museums consultation is available under the consultation section of this website.
