Accreditation Case Studies

Museum Development Midlands supports Midlands-based museums to gain Accreditation status and to retain it.

Our support can help your museum with Accreditation whatever stage you’re at.

Thanks to Copper Crayon for creating these films.

Gaining Accreditation Case Study

This case study follows 78 Derngate on its journey to achieving Museum Accreditation with support from Museum Development Midlands. Through staff interviews and behind‑the‑scenes footage, it explores why accreditation was important, the changes made across governance, collections and audiences, and how MDM support helped. The film reflects on the lasting benefits of accreditation, including improved standards, stronger community impact, and a sense of pride and achievement.
