Annual Museum Survey

The Annual Museum Survey is an annual survey for all Accredited or Working Towards Accreditation museums across England. It is delivered by MD England and managed by South West Museum Development.

We run this survey to predominantly collect quantitative data, which represents the audiences, workforce and financial operational context of Accreditation museums and those Working Towards Accreditation (WTA) across England.  This data is valuable for gaining an understanding of museums in their locality and in a regional and national context.  Analysis of the data can inform a benchmark for participant museums year on year and identify trends across the sector at a regional and national level.

We collect surveys from the previous financial year in the following summer and invite museums to respond by direct email. Where possible due to respondent size we publish regional and county based results. You can view these below.
