Case studies

These case studies link to Arts Council England’s Inclusivity & Relevance Investment Principle. Together, they showcase the great diversity practice going on in London.

Collectively, they start to create a picture of how London’s non-national museums respond to and support the national diversity agenda, as well as increase opportunities for people from protected characteristic groups to engage with them. Hopefully, these case studies will inspire other non-national museums to develop their own diversity practice.

Each case study provides the project’s original aims, who the museum worked with, what the project entailed, what the project achieved, the impact of the project, lessons learnt, and tips for other museums.

If your museum is undertaking work to create more welcoming spaces and embedding inclusive and diversity practice within its spaces, please help Museum Development London to celebrate and share it with other museums.

Museum Development London continues to look for museums who are willing to share their experience of developing responsive programmes, exhibitions, collections, audience initiatives, workforce and trustee boards to showcase how their organisation has become more diverse and more representative of their respective local community.

If you are willing to share your case studies, please get in touch to get a case study template from Museum Development London.
