The extra capacity built by Renaissance is translating into real benefits far beyond the hub partner museums. It offers pathways and partnerships to raise standards, attract new audiences and make a difference to communities. Renaissance East of England has already worked with over 200 of the region's museums, through projects and partnerships delivered by the hub museums and through the extensive support provided by the Museum Development Officer Network. The MDO network is part-funded by Renaissance via the Museum Development Fund and direct support for posts.
