Decision details

At their meeting on May 8^th 2018 the Planning, Housing & Economic Development Panel received, debated and noted the forward plans for the Fashion Museum, Roman Baths Museum and Victoria Art Gallery.

The report seeks formal adoption of three-year Forward Plans for the Fashion Museum, Roman Baths Museum and Victoria Art Gallery which are required for the museums to renew their accredited status with Arts Council England.

The Cabinet Member agrees on behalf of the Council to approve the three-year forward plans for the Fashion Museum, Roman Baths Museum and Victoria Art Gallery.

The Council has a good reputation for managing its museums to high professional standards. The museum forward plans will maintain this reputation for best practice and will have positive implications for public access to the Council’s museum collections and the information they contain.

The museum forward plans are important for demonstrating that the Council’s museums are important contributors to the quality of life of Bath and North East Somerset residents and to the cultural ‘offer’ of the district. 

None.
