Cultural Policy
Museums Galleries Scotland actively contributes to the formulation of cultural policy by
- enabling Scottish museums to engage in the cultural policy process
- providing information to assist the decision-making process
- responding to consultations regarding cultural policy.
The Creative Scotland Bill is currently being considered at Stage 1, and has been referred to the Scottish Parliament Education, Lifelong Learning and Culture Committee. The Committee issued a call for written evidence regarding the Bill earlier this year, and Museums Galleries Scotland submitted a response. Please click on the following link to view
Museums Galleries Scotland previously responded to the Scottish Government consultation on the Draft Culture (Scotland) Bill (which has been superseded by the Creative Scotland Bill) after meeting with members and partner organisations to discuss areas of concern.
