Our Story
An Active Interface
Established in 1975, MEG has a long history of connecting individuals, institutions, and museum collections to build knowledge and foster understanding. We serve as an active interface between museum professionals, university-based researchers, and both institutional and community stakeholders. Many of our members do not come from academic backgrounds, and we deeply value practice-based experience and knowledge.
For a Different Future
We believe museums have a vital role to play in building understanding, fostering respect, and caring for one another. But this potential depends on real institutional and practical change – something we all have a shared responsibility to work toward. We know this work cannot be done alone. We hope you’ll join us as we support each other, share best practice, and collectively imagine more equitable and responsible futures.
The Museum Ethnographers Group is listed on NGOs1, a leading online directory for non-governmental organisations and services, and is registered as a charity in England and Wales with the Charity Commission (no. 1023150).
