Memoranda of Understanding
The British Museum has been fortunate in
finding partners worldwide who want to collaborate on exhibitions,
skills sharing and research for mutual benefit. The Museum gains
hugely through these relationships – making new friends and
learning more about what the collection means from a multitude of
different world perspectives.
Over recent years the British Museum has
initiated a series of reciprocal relationships with cultural
organisations and governments worldwide, concentrating on research,
mutual loans and professional exchanges.
These relationships have in many cases been
formalised in Memoranda of Understanding (MOU), signed documents
which express the desire of both parties to work together in
particular areas for worldwide public benefit.
