What is the Annual Museum Survey?
MDM undertakes an Annual Museum Survey for the Midlands and all Accredited Museums and those Working Towards Accreditation are invited to take part. The survey's purpose is to gather evidence to help demonstrate and prove the social and economic importance of museums locally and regionally to funders and stakeholders.
You can find out more and view the latest reports on the Annual Museum Survey page of our website (coming soon).
What is the Organisational Health Check (OHC)?
The OHC is designed as an indicator to help you highlight your museum's current best practice, understand where the museum has areas of development and to feed into your forward planning. This will enable you to prioritise areas of working over the next 12 months and provide you with a benchmark for future work.
By completing the OHC you will receive a bespoke advisory report with a summary of your results and suggestions of where to access support in your highlighted areas of need.
The information gathered via the MOHC will be used by Museum Development regionally and nationally to understand current trends and create targeted support for museums.
