The new Happy Museum Affiliate Scheme is now open for applications.
Application process
Application will be via a simple Expression of Interest – see below

- Interest in innovation and commitment to ‘re-imagining’ museums and other cultural organisations
- Commitment to undertaking related activity and engaging with sharing and peer-learning

Applicants will be informed as soon as possible, and not later than 10th January.
