Coffee and Chatter: Hosted Museums Special
Is your museum based within a local authority, a university or another parent body?
We know that being based within another organisation has many benefits for museums, but can also present unique challenges, whether it’s with budgeting and finance, forward planning or internal advocacy.
Join West Midlands Museum Development (WMMD) for an extended one hour Coffee and Chatter on 17 June at 10.30am aimed at museums based within other organisations.
It will be an informal opportunity to meet staff and volunteers from other hosted museums throughout the West Midlands. We can discuss the benefits and challenges your organisations have faced, especially in the last 12 months. Your feedback will help inform WMMD’s support for hosted museums in 2021/22.
No need to book, just join the meeting with your cuppa.
