Accreditation provides an effective framework for a museum to progress and be the best they can be.\r\n\r\nMDEM offers support in all areas of the Accreditation scheme. \u00a0We advise museums interested in joining, those working towards Accreditation and those already Accredited.\r\n\r\nAccreditation Support in the East Midlands:<\/strong>\r\n
