We've achieved Museum Accreditation -again!
We’re proud to announce that the Powell-Cotton Museum has once again achieved Museum Accreditation!
This recognition from Arts Council England shows our collections are cared for to the highest national standards. A huge thank you to our incredible team for all their hard work this past year.
From packing, preserving and cleaning so many objects during the MEND project, to launching our newly reimagined natural history displays, everyone’s dedication to our collections and our visitors makes achievements like this possible.
Not all museums are accredited, so it’s wonderful to be recognised once again!
As with any new website, there may be the odd bug or glitch along the way, so please bear with us if things go a little wonky while we fine-tune things.
We hope you enjoy exploring our new digital home as much as we’ve enjoyed creating it and we look forward to welcoming you, online and in person.
