Hi Tehmina

The Museums Collections Centre, Birmingham Museums undertakes the activities you mention.  Details can be found on the BMAG website.

I also recall Beamish Museum sharing some storage space with community groups a few years back, might be worth enquiring about.

Best wishes

Hello all,

A Friday query about the fun subject of off-site collections storage.

Do you or do you know of any museums or similar institutions with off-site collections storage which is also used as a venue for activities i.e. not just warehousing?

It might be collections-based activity, training or it might be something completely unrelated.

Do you know of any museums who share their collections storage with other institutions? Such as a local business or university?

If you have any great examples, not just the high profile collections centres but others that may not be well known about I'd be really happy to hear about them.

I'd also be really happy to share back the findings on this list.

Best wishes,
Tehmina
