Representing the interests of university museums, galleries, and collections

UMG supports and advocates for the university museum sector in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Working alongside our sister organisation UMIS (University Museums in Scotland), we represent the interests of university museums to funders and stakeholders. We also maintain close links with the international body for university museums UMAC.

Since its formation, UMG has established an international reputation for its leadership in advocacy of the sector by promoting the interests of university museums to Government, Arts Council and national organisations such as the Museums Association and higher education funding bodies.
