Brent Museum and Archives awarded £122k

Brent Museum and Archives has been awarded a grant of £122K from Department for Culture, Media and Sport through Arts Council England’s Museum Renewal Fund.  

The funding will help the museum secure its future, improve how it looks after its collections and create a better experience for visitors.   

The Museum Renewal Fund grant is a significant boost for Brent Museum and Archives, helping it to continue serving the local community by preserving and promoting Brent’s rich cultural heritage. The funding will be used to: 

• Carry out a full audit of the museum’s extensive collections, which will be used to inform and update the permanent gallery displays.  

• Purchase new contactless donation points, making it easier for visitors to make voluntary donations to the museum.  

• Invest in new technology for staff and volunteers working in the museum. 

Brent Museum and Archives is a vital cultural resource, preserving the borough’s history through exhibitions, events and educational programmes. The support from the Museum Renewal Fund will help ensure the museum remains a vibrant and sustainable institution for years to come. 

Further updates on the progress of this exciting project will be shared in due course.
