The National Museums Partnerships Report shows that a total of 450,000 items from 17 national museums in the UK were loaned to a global network of museums, galleries and institutions last year. In 2018, 17 UK national museums and galleries toured 41 exhibitions to 79 international venues bringing in crowds of more than 7 million.
The report found that non-national museums are active participants, often acting as the catalyst for partnerships with national museums and are fundamental to their delivery and success. It also identified several key themes in their partnership working, such as sharing collections and knowledge and supporting audience engagement and social outcomes.
