Bury Art Museum receives full Arts Council accreditation

Bury Art Museum & Sculpture Centre has been awarded Full Accreditation status by Arts Council England.

The scheme sets nationally agreed standards for all museums in the UK. To meet the requirements, museums and galleries have to demonstrate that they comply with standards relating to how they are governed and managed, how they provide services and facilities for users of, and visitors to any museums, and how they care for and manage their collections.

Arts Council Accreditation emphasises that the local community has a remarkable achievement on its doorstep while national and international visitors have an excellent arts venue to visit while staying in Bury.
