New research published on museum role in communities
The publication presents findings of research which was commissioned by Museums Galleries Scotland to explore the purpose of five museums and look at how they engage with their communities. The research findings demonstrate the significant impact that these museums are having on their local communities and the report provides robust evidence of the ways in which they help to build up physical, human, social, economic, and cultural capital in their surrounding area. Among the themes emerging from the research are the participation by museums in community action and the innovation displayed through their service delivery. The research also sheds light on a truly enterprising third sector.
