Projects
MEG is dedicated to supporting and engaging in initiatives that benefit our members and advance the field of museum ethnography. Through collaboration with museums, universities, and partner organisations, we explore innovative approaches to collections care, community collaboration, and ethical practice – working together to share knowledge and foster positive, lasting change within the sector.
Rethinking Relationships
We are proud to partner with the Pitt Rivers Museum (University of Oxford), the Horniman Museum and Gardens, World Museum (National Museums Liverpool), and the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology (University of Cambridge) on Rethinking Relationships, with support from Arts Council England.
This sector-leading collaboration aims to reshape museum practice by building trust with communities and improving access to collections of significance to them. The project tackles pressing questions all museums face about how collections are acquired, interpreted, and recorded – and how institutions can respond more responsibly to the communities connected to them.
