💡A year on from the launch of the Museum Futures programme, Gillian Simison, Head of Museum Development at MGS shares her reflections on the first year of the programme as well as key findings from the interim evaluation and what comes next as we move into year two. 🔗https://buff.ly/KXFRkWo

They are pointing at a large screen with a black and white planning map of Dundee displayed on it.A quote which reads: “One of the unexpected highlights of the programme has been the value of peer learning. Seeing organisations come together to share challenges, experiences and ideas has shown us, and them, just how much they can learn from one another. It’s something we’ll be looking to build on in year two by creating more opportunities for museums to connect, collaborate and support one another.” attributed to Gillian Simison, Head of Museum Development, Museums Galleries Scotland.

We had our staff away day in Glasgow last week, at the fantastic St Mungo’s Museum of Religious Life & Art. Staff participated in the Climate and Nature Planning course, and were treated to a tour of Glasgow Cathedral from Thomas, one of our Museums and Galleries Technician apprentices.
