Our support for the sector
At the Museums Association we are working hard to provide the information, support and leadership that the sector needs during the Covid-19 pandemic.
We are advocating to governments and stakeholders and making the case for the support and investment that museums and their workers need at this time.
We have also taken several measures to support our members directly, including new content, practical advice, professional support and funding.
