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.
