Museum Development Midlands

Empowering Midlands museums to thrive

Museum Development Midlands (MDM) is the new Museum Development provider for the East and West Midlands. It is a partnership between Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust and Leicestershire County Council, the providers of the previous museum development programmes in the West Midlands and East Midlands respectively. MDM is funded through Arts Council England (ACE) and is one of five area museum development providers across England.

We support museums through targeted development programmes, grants, training opportunities, advice, information and 1:1 support which respond to Arts Council England’s Strategy, Let’s Create.
