Members Together: Wales – Aelodau Ynghyd: Cymru

Members Together: Wales offers a brilliant opportunity to familiarise yourself with what is happening at the MA, from our work on climate justice, decolonisation, wellbeing and anti-racism to the funding opportunities we offer.

Find out how to put our guidance into practice in your museum and hear how to make the most of your membership benefits. It also offers the chance to hear updates from, and network with, your colleagues in Wales.

Getting our members together for interactive, lively discussions, key information and feedback is core to our membership offer and one of the many ways we highlight and celebrate our diverse membership. It ensures your voice is heard and that the MA reflects your work in our policy campaigns.

Join us at Wrexham Museum and a Football Museum for Wales, for an event that is open to all individual members, commercial members and anyone who works for an organisation that is an institutional member.

Please note that this is an in-person only event.
