Museum Closures And Deprivation Mapping Museums Lab Are museums more likely to close in areas of higher deprivation? we analyse closures since 2000 using the index of multiple deprivation. Building on their successful project to compile a dataset of all uk museums since 1960, this comprehensive report provides data on museum closures and collection disposal.
Museum Closures And Deprivation Mapping Museums Lab Published by the mapping museums lab at birkbeck, university of london this week, the report is based on a large scale, two and a half year research project on museum closures over the past 25 years. The latest research from the mapping musuems project, based at ucl, uses the index of multiple deprivation to ask whether museums in england are more likely to close in areas of higher deprivation?. Using the index allows us to look at deprivation in relation to small areas with around 1,500 residents apiece, which then enables a more nuanced understanding of where museums are located and the types of places where closure occurs.
