Accreditation Scheme for Museums and Galleries in the United Kingdom: Returns Schedule Wales Accreditation Scheme for Museums and Galleries in the United Kingdom: Returns schedule Wales October 2015 1 Introduction This document details the rollout timetable for the area described. The Accreditation returns cycle has been developed on the basis of a museum’s last Accreditation review date, which will either be its initial application for Accredited status, or an Accreditation return provided in September 2009. The returns schedule provides for a six month preparation period from point of invitation to return deadline. Once you have submitted your return, it will be reviewed by an expert assessor, this may include a site visit as part of the scheme’s quality assurance requirement. Once the assessment is complete, a recommendation will be presented to an Accreditation Panel who will consider the assessment form and recommendation, and agree an award. The assessment period will be a maximum of three months. The returns schedule can be flexible in exceptional circumstances where a museum is undergoing a significant change that has reduced the operational capacity of the workforce, for example major re-development, disaster recovery, management of budget reductions and constitutional change. If your museum is experiencing an exceptional circumstance, please contact your assessing organisation to discuss the schedule. 2 Tranche 1 Museum Name Last review Status Return Return invite deadline

    The Gatehouse This is the entrance to Abergavenny Castle, it is called the Gatehouse. It is a barbican gatehouse . A barbican was a wall or tower which protected a castle from attack.

  • Happy Museum Press Release 3Rd Round
    PRESS RELEASE HAPPY MUSEUM The groundbreaking Happy Museum announces a third round of awards as part of a wider programme funded by Arts Council England’s Renaissance Strategic support fund and CyMAL, Wales. 10 museums and galleries from England and Wales have been selected to show how museums can support the transition to a high well-being, sustainable society - bringing the total of Happy Museum Commissions to 22. Launched in April 2011, the Happy Museum ProJect is a pioneering programme that looks at how museums in the UK can build links between sustainability and well-being to leave a legacy of long- term cultural change within their organisations and communities. An initial first round of six awards in 2011, followed by another six in 2012, demonstrated that the Happy Museum Manifesto was in step with the increasing number of academics, economists, psychologists and ecologists in identifying the vital linkage between sustainability and wellbeing. The practical work of the Happy Museum commissions helps to shed light on how thinking of these two issues in conJunction might offer the key to providing a better future. This third phase of Happy Museum commissions is launched with awards of over £100,000 and explores how museums build deeper dialogues with their local communities; engaging young people in understanding science, climate change and sustainability; strengthening community resilience through combining comedy and heritage; a community co-designing and ‘fitting-out’ the ground floor of a Silk Mill; inspiring children with creative play and craft; making an abbey a place that encourages environmental good practice and wellbeing and promoting social enterprise through traditional crafts.

  • Museums Scope General Opinion
    REPORT C DEPARTMENT AUDIT REVIEW AUDIT REF Communities Museums 5415002 PLANNED DAYS ACTUAL DAYS Frequency of Audit 8 8 Background There are five Museums located around Carmarthenshire – Carmarthenshire County Museum, Carmarthen Town Museum, Parc Howard Museum, Kidwelly Industrial Museum and Pendine Museum of Speed, all of which display various artefacts from Carmarthenshire’s varied past. The museums receive artefacts from public donations and also purchase specific items. The approved net budget for 2015/2016 for Museums was approximately £513k and for 2016/2017 approximately £554k. Scope The review covered the controls and procedures in operation to assess the extent to which adequate arrangements exist for the safeguard of the Authority’s assets. General Opinion The systems within the Museum Service have been assessed as being of medium risk to the Authority due to the value, both historic and monetary, of the artefacts in its possession. The 2015 / 2016 Internal Audit review identified concerns in the way that assets were being managed and administered. It is acknowledged that many of the weaknesses could be attributed to the lack of resources and the poor facilities available for the safe storage of assets however, it was not possible to place assurance that appropriate arrangements were in place to safeguard the Authority’s assets. The review was therefore reassessed as being of high risk to the Authority. The main areas of concern were as follows: a lack of a comprehensive up to date inventory of assets; delay in the full implementation of the computerised system CALM, currently there are three methods of recording items in use, none of which is complete and up to date; a lack of adequate documentation available to support loan items; a lack of adequate insurance arrangements.

  • Arts 13 Amgueddfa Cymru
    Background Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum Wales was established by Royal Charter in 1907. The Museum receives its core funding through grant-in-aid from the Welsh Government as a Welsh Government Sponsored Body. Its Charter objective is ‘the advancement of the education of the public’ involving developing, caring for, studying and sustaining access to Wales’s national museum collections for the benefit of society in perpetuity. Amgueddfa Cymru’s Vision, published following significant internal and external discussion and consultation, is to become ‘a world class museum of learning’ and we believe that we are well on our way to delivering this ambitious commitment. For the context of this submission, it is important to note that Amgueddfa Cymru is a provider of a broad range of arts and cultural activities relating to art, history, science, music, drama, creative- writing, dance, photography and these all include elements of active participation. Through the leading role the Museum plays in this cultural and heritage provision, education, skills and tourism, we make a positive contribution to the social and economic life of Wales. With over 450,000 formal and informal education visits, Amgueddfa Cymru also provides many routes into life-long learning and training - all of which are crucial at a time of financial constraint. In response to the Committee’s questions: 1. Which groups of people participate in your organisation’s arts activities? Annually, Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum Wales welcomes over 1.6m visits to its seven national museum sites. A wide range of groups of people participate in Amgueddfa Cymru’s arts and cultural activities, e.g.
