The Museums Association is a dynamic membership organization that advocates for socially engaged museums and a representative workforce. We operate ethically and sustainably, collaborating with partners who share our aims and values. Our mission is to inspire museums to change lives, and our vision is to create inclusive, participatory, and sustainable museums that are at the heart of their communities.

As an independent and not-for-profit organization, we are the only association representing all museums in the UK's four nations. We strive for equitable treatment for all our members, considering the differences in context, culture, legislation, policy, and practice. We are committed to advocating for museums without any fear or favor from governments or funding influences.

With a passion for leading change, championing diversity and equity, and working collaboratively and ethically, we campaign for social and climate justice. Our membership offers great benefits for companies, and we also provide various services such as mentoring, career conversations, and learning and engagement programs. Join us today and be a part of our inspiring journey!
