This piece of social research looks at the impacts made by museums and galleries on their local communities. The research was carried out by the Moffat Centre for Travel and Tourism Business Development. The report contains the results of an extensive literature review and fieldwork. The case studies presented in the report represent a variety of key community impact themes:
re-development: extending life cycle
employment and work experience
community volunteering
community regeneration
community engagement.
This research is a first step in exploring the impacts that museums have on communities and recommends areas for further research.
