Community Museums Strategy 2004 - 2009


Executive Summary

This strategy identifies the priorities for the County Council in its support of Leicestershire’s independent museums over the next five years.
With over forty members of the Forum of Independent Museums, over 1,000 local people regularly volunteering at the Forum museums, and at least 300,000 visitors each year, the independent museums sector represents a significant cultural resource demonstrating tourism, educational, social and regeneration benefits.
This strategy sets out the County Council’s objectives and targets in the areas of Standards, Excellence, Audience Development, Sustainability, Learning and Advocacy.  The County Council demonstrates action and commitment to the sector, and recognises the importance of effective partnerships in this strategy.
