Museums are being urged to respond to the government's consultation on adult informal learning, which was launched by the secretary of state for innovation, universities and skills, John Denham, last month.
London's Horniman Museum uses its collection to offer adults short courses in a broad range of subjects.
Head of learning Vicky Brightman said: "Marketing these opportunities and ensuring course costs are not prohibitive is often the most challenging aspect of establishing a successful adult learning programme.
"Museums need to be involved in the consultation, so we can highlight ways in which we can partner local authority and other adult learning providers to create affordable and appealing opportunities and get this message out to a broad range of audiences."
To contribute to the adult informal learning consultation, which runs until 15 May, visit www.adultlearningconsultation.org.uk
The Museums Association is running a one-day conference on adult learning on 5 June. For details, see www.museumsassociation.org/maevents
