Today we are officially launching our crowdsourcing project, Natural History Near You (#NHNearYou), to find every natural history collection in the UK & Ireland and discover what they hold and what state they're in. We want to help researchers of all kinds find collections that they can use to bring the collections and their hidden stories to life, and we need your help to do it!
NatSCA are pleased to present the findings of an Arts Council England funded study into the audiences of mixed discipline museums.
We hope that this information will allow us to better understand how natural science galleries are perceived by the public and to allow other Subject Specialist Networks and museums to gain an insight to their audiences.
