Annual Museum Survey
Museum Development England have revealed the results of the Annual Museum Survey for 2025.
The 2025 Annual Museum Survey, which surveyed non-National museums in spring this year, provides a comprehensive report on the operating context of museums in England.
The findings highlight that more Northern museums are located in deprived areas than in other areas of England. The survey also identifies that the North has a significantly higher number of Local Authority owned or operated than elsewhere in England.
Developed and operated by Museum Development South West the Annual Museums Survey has been operating across England for nine years. This is the second year that the Annual Museum Survey will reflect the five new Museum Development England areas: London, South East, South West, Midlands and North in the reporting.
All reports can be found on the Museum Development South West website
