Collections development strategy
A National Collections Development Strategy for Scotland's Museums was launched in October 2006 and is currently under review.
We will post up information on the review in the near future. In the meantime, we are still using the objectives and action plan in the strategy as the basis for our work in this area in addition to Musuems Galleries Scotland's three priorities of:
- Business development
- Audience development
- Product development
The Strategy has three goals:
- To promote Scotland's diverse museum collections and their potential as community and cultural resources at local and national level.
- To support museum staff to develop and sustain collections confidently, openly and effectively.
- To encourage museums to provide increased and innovative opportunities for users to truly engage with collections.
