Curating for Change: Disabled People Leading in Museums

Published Autumn 2021

This report is based on extensive consultation we undertook whilst preparing and developing the Curating for Change programme.

During the consultation we spoke to a wide range of museums, sector organisations, disabled people’s organisations, and D/deaf, disabled and neurodivergent people working in museums or wanting to pursue a career in museums. The report is a summary of this consultation, highlighting the barriers disabled people are facing if wishing to pursue a career in museums.
