Hub data collection
A lot of time and care has been taken to ensure that all hubs are counting the same things in the same way. The hub data collection manual used by all Hubs, testify to the scrupulous approach taken to ensuring the comparability and accuracy of the data.
Rising visit figures may not tell the whole story, but they are certainly indicative of thriving museums that are increasingly satisfying the needs of the people who use them.
The latest statistical report can be found on our statistics page and data collection manual can be found in the related links section.
Taking stock: achievements of the regional museum hubs
This report was commissioned in 2006 to establish the achievements and successes of the hubs in their implementation of Renaissance to date, and is a helpful counterpart to the MHM report. It tells some of the stories behind the numbers and draws together the key achievements of the hubs, including links to the work of the Renaissance Designation Challenge Fund. The report also summarises a number of lessons learned from the operation of the programme to date.
