Economic sustainability for museums

NMDC members are concerned that museums are adequately funded and intelligently supported. Museums need external funding (from public and private sources) to deliver on their objectives, including contributing to society and the economy. Current work in this area includes:

Making the case for government spending on museums and culture

Monitoring the impact of recession on the museums sector and considering how government and the sector should respond

Working with government for less onorous and disruptive application of rules governing museums

Promoting philanthropy
