Museum Basics
Get skilled up!
Museums Basics are hands on, small group training events covering critical practical museum knowledge. They are open to everyone who works in a member museum or heritage organisation, as well as to individual members, and are always free or low cost. Recent topics have included Object Marking and Labelling, and Object Handing and Moving.

Get involved
Is there a practical museum skill you’d like to learn more about? Or do you need to get new staff trained up? Perhaps you’re managing a team of specialists for the first time, and need to understand more about what they do? Alternatively, you might be able to deliver some practical training for our members. Please get in touch and let us know your idea for a future Museum Basics event.
