Birmingham Museums Citizens’ Jury

We’re super excited that Birmingham Museum will be one of the first in the UK to hold a citizens’ jury – and we get to be a part of it!

This follows a growing trend amongst cultural institutions (New Art Exchange in Nottingham, as well as Bundeskunsthalle and Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden in Germany) that recognise the importance of bringing citizens into the conversations about how they are to remain inclusive, relevant, and financially sustainable in the modern era.

Alongside the staff at Birmingham Museums Trust, we’re delighted to be working closely with Lucy Reid from DemocracyNext.

It’s early days, but if you’re interested in hearing more about this project as it evolves, be sure to follow us on our socials and subscribe to our newsletter!
