Welcome to Wessex Museums

Wessex Museums is a charity that exists to build the resilience of our partner museums and make them relevant to diverse audiences.

Wessex Museums is a thriving consortium of museums across Dorset and Wiltshire – Dorset Museum, Poole Museum, The Salisbury Museum and Wiltshire Museum. We believe that working together provides opportunities to:

Strengthen the cultural offer of our museums and our region.
Push us out of our comfort zones to do things in new ways.
Share important stories from across our region from a range of perspectives.
Share and learn from successes and mistakes, build relationships and enhance our reputation with partners and stakeholders.
Increase our organisational resilience.

This website aims to share our learning, resources and inspiration across the wider museums and arts sector.
