SHARE

SHARE logoUtilising the time and expertise given by the four hub museum services and Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, SHARE can help you access the assistance you need to develop your museum in many varied and interesting ways. Between them, these museums committed over 1,000 days of staff time in 2009-10 to a central skills ‘bank’. The expertise covered by the bank ranges from curatorial knowledge to marketing experience, from visitor services to learning and outreach. The scheme also includes four regional conservation officers whose remit is to work with museums across the region to improve collections care.

The support SHARE offers takes many forms including practical advice, training, one to one consultations, skills sharing, work placements, special project work and mentoring support. And the good news is that access to the wealth of advice on offer is FREE!

SHARE is for any museum in the East of England, including independent, local authority and volunteer-run museums. Download this booklet for an overview of what SHARE offers and how to use it:

Defence of Renaissance must be forward looking

"I am optimistic that that we are winning the argument for sustained Renaissance funding, because we can point to museum services that have used the cash to become more outgoing - forming partnerships, spreading new ideas, and exciting the public –and we can therefore legitimately promise to do more with less.” Continue reading
