Notice: Arts Council England is currently reviewing the museum Accreditation scheme and as a result some of Museum Development South West’s guidance may be out of date. This guidance will be updated as soon as possible, but in the meantime for any guidance please contact our accreditation advisors.

We support over 300 museums in the South West with their journey to gain and maintain Accreditation. All of our resources are best used in conjunction with resources and guidance provided by Arts Council England.

For the most up to date list of Accredited museums and museums formally Working Towards Accreditation see the Arts Council England Accreditation pages.

If you have any questions about our Accreditation resources or cannot find something specific you are looking for then please contact our Technical Accreditation Advisors Tim Burge and Philip Claris.
