Visiting other museums and seeing how other people do what they do is vital
for professional development as individuals and as a team. Last year as an
'away day', the Access Team and the Exhibitions Team here at Nottingham
Museums and Galleries had a really great visit to meet our equivalents at
Sheffield Museums Trust. We are set up and work in very different ways, but
nevertheless it was a very useful and interesting visit.
Nottingham welcomes you!

Subject: Visits to other museums
I have just approached a museum (that, for now, will remain nameless!) with
a view to taking some of my Education team to look at what they do with
schools. I have been told that there is a cost for this, and in fact that I
cannot merely watch people in action but that I have to arrange an INSET
day.
What ever happened to goodwill amongst fellow professionals? Can people
tell me - on or off list - whether this is now a common occurrance? I have
been welcoming fellow museum educators and visiting other sites for free for
years.
