Introduction This report summarises the findings of the fourth regional benchmarking survey of North West museums, covering the period 2018-19. The survey was carried out to gain a picture of the state of the regional museums sector at the present time and to track any changes and trends from the previous surveys. For the 2017-18 survey Museum Development North West (MDNW) commissioned South West Museum Development (SWMD) to carry out both the data collection and the reporting. For this survey, SWMD carried out the data collection, MDNW analysed and reported on the data. An online survey was sent to all 148 Accredited museums and museums officially working towards Accreditation in the North West, as recognised by Arts Council England (ACE) in June 2019. The return rate was 45%. The sections in the survey were: 1) Museums 2) Audiences 3) Resources (finance, staff and volunteers) For MDNW’s first two surveys, covering 2012 to 2016, there were also questions about collections and access to training, plus a flexible section which changed each year to give a snapshot of a specific issue. Since 2018 each of the English museum development regions has been using the same survey to allow national comparisons, and so these sections have been removed to bring MDNW’s survey in line with other regions.
