The Rural Relevance toolkit for museums was created because of a skills and knowledge gap identified by the Welsh Government\u2019s Culture Division within museums in Wales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rural and agricultural collections are often found in a rural location, but not always. And some rural museums may not have agricultural items but have collections from communities that are distinctly rural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This toolkit is intended for non-specialists and is designed to build confidence in managing, and enthusiasm for using, rural collections in museums. It contains inspiration and advice and is a jumping off point for further exploration and activity based on your own collections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The toolkit is shared here in both English and Welsh language versions. This toolkit was developed and prepared for the Rural Museums Network by Anna Bryant, Museums and Heritage Consultant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
