I am currently working on producing materials for GNVQ/HND Leisure and
Recreation/Travel and Tourism courses with a group of teachers/tutors.
I am doing the 'background information' section and have been asked to
include a few key dates in museum history. I have the articles to make this
easy up to about 1980 but after that it means trawling through all the MJs
etc. I should therefore be really grateful if GEM members who have this info
at their fingertips could add the relevant dates to this list for me, and
also if colleagues could send their suggestions for the most important
'happenings' in the UK museums sector in the last 20 years:
???? Department of National Heritage set up. In ???? it became the
Department of Culture, Media and Sport
???? Minister of Culture established
???? Tate in the North opened in Liverpool
etc.
Also, does anyone have a reference for the economic importance of museums
that is less than 5 years old please?
Many thanks
Katrina Siliprandi
