Museums Galleries Scotland

About us

Museums Galleries Scotland (MGS) is the national development body for Scotland’s museums sector. We support 450 museums and galleries, through strategic investment, advice, workforce development and advocacy.

In collaboration with the museums and galleries sector, and a wide range of partners, we lead the delivery of Scotland’s Museums and Galleries Strategy.

Our shared vision is that Scotland’s museums and galleries are thriving, connected, and resilient organisations which are agile in embracing change. Trusted and valued by the widest diversity of Scotland’s people, our collections, and the shared stories we tell, are accessible and inclusive to all.

We are a values-led organisation committed to the ongoing development of a positive culture for our people. From individual objectives to organisational goals, we are influenced by our values: collaboration, courageousness, integrity and a passion for museums and galleries.

We are committed to investing in the skills and wellbeing of our people. They are passionate, creative individuals who bring different skills and lived experiences into our organisation. Continuous improvement is at the heart of our approach, and our passion for museums and galleries underpins all that we do.
