UMG UK was established in 1987 and is for everyone working with university museums and collections. Our members include major university museums, individuals working with small departmental collections, and freelancers interested in the sector. Rates for institutional membership vary according to the size of the institution. Individuals with an interest in university museums are welcome to join as personal members.

The benefits of membership include:

Advocacy:

UMG UK actively campaigns for the university museum sector. It is recognised as the voice for the sector by the Museums Association, by Government, MLA and funding bodies such as the Arts and Humanities Research Board and Heritage Lottery Fund. Because its membership includes major museums and small departmental collections it can represent the diversity of university museums and collections.
