Training
We offer unique guided tours, talks by specialists, ‘on demand’ training and other opportunities to do with museums and museum practice.
Our program is for museum professionals, volunteers and others with an interest in museums. See our events calendar for upcoming training sessions.
Museum Accreditation Program
Museums use MAP standards to develop and improve what they do, and attract recognition and support. See our website for further information about accreditation for Victorian museums.
Exhibition Services Grants
Exhibition Services aims to develop the awareness and value of Victoria’s museums and galleries by encouraging these organisations to develop static and touring exhibitions to promote the stories of rich and diverse collections across Victoria to a broad audience. For grant categories and deadlines, please visit our website.
Victorian Museum Awards
The Victorian Museum Awards highlight outstanding achievements and service in the museum, gallery and collecting sector. This special event celebrates organisations and individuals whose passion and work build a strong museum industry. See our website for further information.
