Our site is published several times a day and contains news, reviews, exhibitions, trails, events, educational resources and online resources from over 4000 museums and galleries in the UK. More than half the staff are editorial staff, and we have a huge network of trainee and volunteer writers contributing content too.
  • #33 Active network of over 200 organisation who input their information into our database themselves. Service is easy to use and free.

  • #55 In Nov 2006 signed an agreement with Visit Britain to become the official source of museum, gallery and heritage information to their Englandnet database. This means that anything goes into our DDE system will automatically display on all their sites internationally. Fantastic bridge with domestic and international tourist industry. Access to huge, interested audience. Great way to incentivise use of DDE for institutions. Win-win for all concerned.
