This report is the culmination of a collections rationalisation project managed by Norfolk Museums and Archaeology Service as part of its Renaissance Museum Development Programme for the East of England (SHARE Museums East). The aim of this project was, in the first instance, to work with a number of museums across the region to explore the meaning of collections rationalisation.

In this two-day virtual workshop with Chris & France (Primary Colours/Couleurs primaires), we invite participants to join a support network of peers and explore how museums came to be, as well as the roles that staff and boards play in our ever-evolving museum communities.

The report aims to inform efforts in Canada to enhance government support for museums through well-designed policies, strategic investments, impactful programs, and robust funding mechanisms. It highlights the importance of leveraging global knowledge and adapting international best practices to the unique needs of Canada’s museum landscape.
