National and Regional Context
The Departments for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and Education and Employment (DfEE) have recently released their vision for museum and gallery education. Entitled 'The Learning Power of Museums' it explains that:
'Our vision for the new Millennium is of museums inspiring & supporting a learning society as they reach out to the widest possible range of audiences…
The Government is committed to seeing the learning power of museums fully exploited & will continue to play its part to help bring that about'.
