By joining us today you will mark your support for the profession and show the highest commitment to your staff.
Over 600 museums, galleries, archives and historic houses are already members and help influence the political agenda for the sector. Isn’t it time you were one of them?
Working in partnership with us your institution could lead the way on thinking and strategy, and shape the future of the UK’s museums and galleries. Make sure you are part of this expanding network.
Leading the way
The issues concerning the sector apply to all institutions, regardless of size. We campaign vigorously on your behalf and have direct influence on government and major strategic bodies. Current campaigns include sustainability, diversity in the workforce, pay in museums and the future of collections and collecting.
In consultation with our members we set the appropriate ethical standards for the profession. We can help you negotiate complex issues through our ethics guidelines and workshops.
Your staff, your future
Your staff are the sector’s future leaders. It is vital that every employee is given the opportunity to fulfil their potential and we can help. We provide good value, nationwide training events and conferences to ensure they have the knowledge and expertise to help run a successful museum.
We also offer the highly-regarded Associateship of the Museums Association scheme. It is a fantastic, cost-effective way to develop your staff and help them to become better skilled and more motivated.
Keeping in touch
Our publications, online archives and website provide all the information to keep your organisation and staff in touch with the latest news, projects and best practice in the sector, helping you feel part of the wider museum and gallery community.
