The Secretary of State identified the two key achievements of the last 10 years as free admission to national museums, noting in particular the resulting increase in the number of child visits, and the investment in regional museums made through Renaissance in the Regions. Making reference to the McMaster report, he spoke about the change in emphasis from access to excellence; that promoting access can result in an over-reliance on targets which should be avoided; and that the key to excellence for museums is the quality of the visitor experience they offer. He also stressed the importance of ensuring excellent museum provision outside London. The Secretary of State identified the key priorities for museums in the next ten years as: strong partnerships, national, regional and international, with reference to the British Museum’s World Collections project; museum education, referring to the Find Your Talent scheme to give every child 5 hours a week of cultural activity; and diversity, particularly in museum leadership, ensuring museums reflect the whole of their local communities.
