The Museums + Heritage Awards

The 17th annual Museums + Heritage Awards will celebrate innovative and ground-breaking initiatives from museums, galleries and heritage visitor attractions across the UK and overseas.

The Awards shine a spotlight on the diversity of this sector, of museums large and small – from the nationals to one-room volunteer-run museums, from iconic buildings and monuments to the great outdoors, all of which have an equal opportunity of winning one of 14 prestigious awards.

* The 2019 Awards are now closed for entry! Best of luck to the record breaking number of entries received. The shortlist will be announced middle of March *

The Museums + Heritage Awards are judged by a panel of the sector’s leading lights who are united in their quest to seek out the very best of the best. Hear what the this year’s Chair of the judging panel, Diane Lees CBE, Director General of Imperial War Museums, has to say about these awards and find out what her top tips are for getting your entry application right in this recent interview with Diane.

HALL OF FAME

  • The team at Mary Rose were delighted to be shortlisted for three awards at the Museums and Heritage Awards 2017. It is always great to be recognised for your achievements by your peers and to celebrate success around the industry. The awards dinner was pretty special too!

    - Helen Bonser-WiltonChief Executive, Mary Rose Trust, Highly Commended for the Permanent Award and shortlisted for both Marketing and Innovation 2017

  • Winning the Museums + Heritage International Award was a proud moment for our dedicated staff and a delightful acknowledgement of their hard work. We knew we had built a museum that people want to visit time and again, but receiving the award was a remarkable recognition from the professional museum field. Post-award, we have had the great pleasure of presenting our project to numerous museum professionals in Helsinki, in Finland and in conferences around the world.

    - Tiina MerisaloMuseum Director, Helsinki City Museum, Winner Of International Award 2017

  • Acknowledgement at the Museum + Heritage awards for a small, local history museum was phenomenal, and really contributed to putting The Novium on the map as an award-winning museum. For our entire team, winning the award was a real morale booster, particularly for our learning department, who received recognition on a national level for the education programme supporting our Tim Peake exhibition.

    - Laura WilliamsCommunications & Events Officer, The Novium, Winner of Temporary or Touring Exhibition Award 2017

  • We are absolutely delighted to win such a prestigious award. Remaining financially resilient is exceptionally important to us as a completely independent Museum. Our events programme and filming location hire have been successful examples of how it is possible to use our unique space in positive and creative ways.
