Museums are a significant contributor to our creative economies and communities. Our role in helping Cornwall’s rurally dispersed museums to maximise their contributions is to advocate for, unlock investment and enable them to work transformatively with and for the communities they serve.
We are here to enable museums and heritage organisations to create more meaning, knowledge, understanding and positive social change.
We measure the positive impact of our work with museums in the following three ways:
For the Sector
We understand the needs, priorities and ideas of our museum sector and workforce and provide a strategic voice.
Here's the headline numbers for our impact in this area.
For Positive Social Change
We are focussing on environmental responsibility and inclusivity, accessibility, and social justice.
These key statistics demonstrate our impact in these areas.
For Cornwall's Cultural Ecosystem
We are committed to promoting Cornwall's creative capital, working in partnership with cultural and third sector partners and focussing on place and communities.
Here's our achievements this year.
