Campaigns for our communities, people, collections and planet

Sharon Heal talks about the MA's campaigns

Through campaigns, we address the urgent issues shaping our sector.

From decolonisation to climate justice, our work helps museums become braver and fairer – centring people, communities and the planet in everything they do.

Latest from our campaigns

Collections

Empowering Collections 2026

Read the updated report, the follow-up to our initial research in 2019

Museums Change Lives

Museums for Climate Justice

Watch | Members Together Online: Communicating Climate Justice

Museums big and small are actively engaging with climate justice across their work – how can we share this work with audiences?

Tools and guidance for making change

A framework for the practical application of ethical considerations to our everyday work in museums

Guide | Supporting Decolonisation in Museums

Empowering more people to take action as museums address the legacy of British colonialism

Pay in museums

The 2025-26 update on our research and recommendations to address low sector pay

Inclusive and sustainable museums at the heart of communities. As we face increasing polarisation and inequality, our vision is for museums to use their collections to bring communities together and deliver social and climate justice.

Supporting Decolonisation and initiatives across the sector

Decolonisation is more than the relocation of a statue or an object. It’s a long-term process that seeks to recognise the integral role of empire in museums – from their creation to the present day.
