 With their long-term role in preservation and community engagement, museums are in the sustainability business. They balance the interests of different generations. As well as serving society today, they aim to pass on collections, information and knowledge to people in the future. However, museums don't tend to think explicitly about sustainability. The Museums Association believes that concepts of sustainability will help museums think about and improve their work. The MA recently ran a consultation about sustainability and museums. Around 400 museum staff attended discussion workshops and thousands more heard about the subject at conferences, through a discussion paper and from articles in Museums Journal and Museum Practice. The consultation focused on sustainability in its broadest economic, social and environmental sense. ^ TOP
