Our Museums Partnership Officer provides professional support and guidance to museums across Cambridgeshire. We work with museums to help them access funding and training and support their ongoing development. We also work in close partnership to improve museum services and provision across the county.
Museums in Cambridgeshire (MiC)
MiC works to support and develop museums in the county. It consists of museum practitioners and officers from the University of Cambridge Museums and the County Council. MiC supports five key aims:
- provide a voice for Cambridgeshire museums and promote the work of the museum sector to stakeholders
- attract and manage resources for the benefit of members
- support the development of museums through the improved standards and workforce development
- increase access and learning for the benefit of the people of Cambridgeshire
- seek strategic ways of developing museums. The association is open to all museums in the County who pay an annual subscription of £50
