We're getting ready for our 2023-2024 activities and the year ahead by launching our South West Visitor Insights programme, the perfect way to find out what your audiences really think!
This is a one-off grant programme which will support the conservation of individual objects to put them on display in your museum.
In our January 2023 newsletter, we're kicking off the new year by giving you a sneak peak of what we have in store this year; including programmes, grants, as well as skills development opportunities. We are also reflecting on our achievements with the publication of our 2021-22 Annual Review.
This year’s Annual Museums Survey was the first opportunity to measure the difference between the pandemic-effected years and the first post-lockdown year, revealing the impact of the pandemic on museums.
