Action Plan for Scotland's Museums Consultation

In July 2002 the Minister for Tourism, Culture and Sport launched the publication of A Collective Insight: Scotland's National Audit and announced a consultation exercise on the results of the Audit. The Scottish executive sought views to assist the development of an Action Plan for Scotland's museums and galleries. This consultation period ended on the 6th December 2002.
