The MA is the oldest museums association in the world...
It was set up by a small group of museums in 1889 to look after the interests of museums and galleries.
Today, it is still entirely independent of government and is funded by its membership, which is made of up individual museum professionals, institutions and corporate members.
The MA now has approximately 5,000 individual members, 600 institutional members and 250 corporate members.
The MA provides information through its website and publications, lobbies government and sets ethical standards through its policy department, and offers a comprehensive professional development programme for members wishing to further their careers in museums and galleries.
In addition to this, the MA runs a series of events around museum issues, and holds an annual conference which focuses on current issues and policies affecting museums and galleries.
