Museum + Heritage Awards

With the Museums + Heritage Awards deadline just two weeks today, now is the time to spread the word around your organisation and encourage members in your network and country to go for it! These Awards are the very best way to shine the spotlight on your projects and to get your team the recognition they deserve!  

The annual Museums + Heritage Awards, now in its sixteenth year, recognises projects of excellence – innovative and ground-breaking exhibitions from galleries and visitor attractions across the UK and Europe. These range from remarkable achievements of national institutions to projects crafted with limited resources and those championing their staff and volunteers who work hard to deliver inspiring visitor experiences.

The Awards are judged by a panel of the sector’s leading lights including, Diane Lees, Director General, Imperial War Museum; Bernard Donoghue, Director, Association of Leading Visitor Attractions (ALVA) and other leading sector professionals.

The 2018 Awards have a dedicated International Award category which truly shines a spotlight on some of the fantastic projects that took place outside the UK in 2017? Could your project be added to our shortlist? Winner of the 2017 International Award, Helsinki City Museum had this to say “Winning the Museums + Heritage International Award was a proud moment for our dedicated staff and a delightful acknowledgement of their hard work. We knew we had built a museum that people want to visit time and again, but receiving the award was a remarkable recognition from the professional museum field.”

The deadline for the Awards is 1st February 2018 and these Awards, which are open to all museums, galleries, cultural and heritage visitor attractions and their suppliers, no matter what size or budget, offer an unrivalled opportunity for everyone in this sector to celebrate their successes.
