UK Affairs

The UK Affairs Committee is chaired by David Fleming, Director of National Museums Liverpool, and the membership of the Committee includes representatives of national and regional museums, the Museums Association and the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council. The role of this committee is to brief NMDC on developments in the wider museum sector and ensure that national museums are properly built into nationwide programmes.

Other priorities are the social impact of museums, collections mobility and the skills agenda.
