What are the best methodologies and indicators to measure the benefits of halting ongoing material failure and degradation of museum buildings and collections?
Background
Research is also needed to help AHT’s understanding of international cultural markets, where the UK sits comparatively and the impact culture has on international diplomacy. Protecting the UK’s cultural assets and understanding ways to consolidate and make better use of crucial data across AHT sectors is also of interest and more research on best practice would be useful.
