Our access and outreach work has been set up to deliver creative learning projects that will meet the needs and interests of different groups and communities. We are keen to offer wider access to our collections and resources by actively encouraging the public to visit our museum stores, and take part in our varied outreach projects.
The access and outreach project aims to:
-
invite participation from local people in creative learning opportunities
-
raise awareness of the museum service as an innovative learning tool
-
increase access to collections for diverse audiences.
-
contribute to the ongoing development of the collection
-
encourage ownership of the museum collections by the local community
-
provide opportunities to engage with us on an informal basis through participant lead projects
-
develop partnerships with other council services and external organisations
