@museumhour A2. Museums need to advocate to survive - funding & cost of living. Years ago a regional Museum was likely to close & the local community were outraged. A number of people were interviewed for local news and it turned out they had never been but it was their Museum! #MuseumHour

[Rachel Moss @particip8tion]

@museumhour Work with young people and schools to open up what jobs are available in museums and galleries and the skills / routes in to work in them #MuseumHour #MuseumCareers

[MuseumHour @museumhour]

#MuseumHour Finally, tell us one thing you're going to do moving forward, to advocate for museums.

[Shannen Johnson @ShannenJJohnson]

A1 @gem_heritage conference this year is themed around the value of learning - sharing examples of how we can advocate for museum learning both internally and externally - will be exploring the question of what museum advocacy looks like for museum learning 😀

[MuseumHour @museumhour]

[MuseumHour @museumhour]
