Museum Accreditation Scheme: interim reopening timetable
When museums and galleries need to submit applications for the Museum Accreditation Scheme.
A PDF download of this document will be available soon.
In line with the other UK museum accreditation partners, we will be reopening the accreditation scheme on a phased basis. Our focus for 2022 will be assessing returns which were submitted in full before the scheme was paused, and museums that currently have provisional status. We will contact museums that have submitted returns and museums with provisional status to discuss next steps later this year.
For all other museums, we will restart sending invites for returns in 2023. The draft timetable is below.
