Museums want to know how they can attract more young people in an increasingly online world. Often, they don’t know where to begin. Now young people have spoken, and it’s time for the museum sector to listen.
After our very successful event, The Future is Now: Museum Youth Summit in October 2023, the Kids in Museums Youth Panel would like to share our thoughts and findings about what young people want from museums on behalf of young people within the museums and heritage sector. These findings are relevant to all museums, galleries and heritage sites.
Young people call on them to remove barriers to access, represent a wider range of people and perspectives and create good early career jobs.
