Managing a museum or gallery is multifaceted – from collection care to programs for visitors, to creating engaging exhibitions and planning for potential risks. Not to mention marketing, fundraising or volunteer management! We’ve collated a variety of resources and contacts that can aid with these various aspects. If there’s something that you don’t see covered, get in touch and we’ll see how we can help.
COVID-19 Resources
As we all adjust to the rapidly changing effects of COVID-19 on the museum and gallery sector, we have collated the most useful resources in one place, and will continue to update this resource over time.
Online Resources
This section is where you can find practical help and advice for almost anything you might need to do in managing a museum or gallery. We have many printable factsheets as well as links to recommended external resources that demonstrate best practice.
The Consultants Register
This is an index of people with specific skills and experience in every aspect of museum and gallery development, support and management. Sort through to find someone who can help you, but bear in mind you will be contracting these professionals independently of M&G NSW. We keep the Register up-to-date but don’t endorse the individuals or the work that they do for you.
M&G NSW Forums
We have developed a forums website to facilitate improved and enhanced communications within the sector and to encourage collaboration. If you have a need or idea for how a forum might benefit your organisation or develop partnerships in your region, please get in contact admin@mgnsw.org.au.
Support Agencies
We also have a list of Support Agencies who provide various kinds of funding and information for those in the museum and gallery industry.
