Creating better places to live and work
Helping us to value the places where we live, work and visit
Museums help us to understand where we are and where we’ve come from. They create a sense of belonging by engaging with communities and encouraging active public participation in decision-making.
Museums use engagement, learning and collections to generate understanding within and between different groups and communities in society. They generate partnerships with community groups, charities and third-sector organisations to create spaces that are open and accessible to all.
Please get in touch if you’d like to feature a case study about your museum here.
