Supporting decolonisation in museums
The new guidance of the Museums Association, Supporting Decolonisation in Museums, aims to empower more people to take action and lead change as museums address the legacy of British colonialism. This guidance has been produced by the Decolonisation Guidance Working Group, with support from the Ethics Committee and a range of critical friends. It was developed following the findings of the 2019 Empowering Collections report, which recognised the growing interest in decolonising museums, but a lack of confidence in how to put this into practice.
Supporting Decolonisation in Museums covers all areas of practice, with sections on collaboration, collections, workforce and more. The guidance offers prompts for thinking, discussion and action, recognising there is no single ‘right’ way to decolonise museums. It is intended to help people from across the museum sector to engage with decolonising practice, regardless of size or type of institution.
