The Rural Museums Network operates a number of events and activities for members, aimed at promoting opportunities to share skills, knowledge and examples of best practice.

Our Rural Voices Seminar Series bring expert speakers and museum professionals together to share how rural collections and rural sites can better include a wider range of voices in the stories they tell. These sessions are on the Zoom platform and are FREE for members (institutional and individual) and £5 for non-members.

Membership to the RMN starts at just £10 per year, representing good value for our Seminars as just one member benefit. For more information, visit our subscriptions webpage.

If you aren’t sure if your museum is a member, please do contact us to check before you book.
