Museums & Exhibitions Group

The Museums and Exhibitions Members' Group represents the interests of museums and gallery employees in the UK, and members who are interested in pursuing a career in the museum profession. In addition, the Group aims to create a cross-dialogue between academics and curators, and be advocates for art historical research in museums.
