Federation to Draft New Museum Strategy for South West
In 2003-2004 the Federation worked in close collaboration with what was then SWMLAC to create the 'Stategy for Museums in the South West 2004-2007'.
Well its 2007 now and the Federation feels its time we had another good think about where we are going - what is our vision for the South West and what are some of the objectives that will help get us there.
We will be coming shortly to your local county museum group to talk with you, so that we can make sure that all members of the Federation, however small have their opportunity to feed into this important document - watch this space.
Mark Taylor from MA to Visit the Federation
The Federation is delighted to announce that Mark Taylor, the Director of the Museums Association is coming down to talk to us on the afternoon of Thursday the 3rd May 2007 after our committee meeting in the morning at the Royal Albert Memorial Museum in Exeter.
We are happy to invite anybody with an interest in the museums of the South West, whether you are a member of the Museum Association or the Federation to come along and hear Mark talk about the MA and will provide you with the opportunity to ask him your questions.
