Kids in Museums Manifesto

Is your museum struggling to attract families and stand out from the competition? The Kids in Museums Manifesto could be the solution you need!

Created by Kids in Museums, a UK heritage organisation, the manifesto helps museums, heritage sites, and cultural organisations become more accessible and welcoming to children and families. Originally launched in 2003 and last updated in 2022, the manifesto is based on feedback from young people and families and offers practical guidance for creating inclusive, engaging experiences. With over 1,000 museums signed up, it’s a powerful tool for making your venue family-friendly.

How can the Manifesto help your organisation?

  • Audit tool: Evaluate how family-friendly your organisation is.
  • Arts Council accreditation: Align with audience engagement and experience goals.
  • Showcase your values: Display the logo to highlight your family-friendly commitment.
  • Framework for improvement: Use specific points to enhance your venue’s accessibility.
  • Promote to families: Use the logo to signal your venue is family-friendly in all communications.
  • Advocacy tool: Embed a family-first approach across your organisation.

The Kids in Museums Manifesto, created with input from children, young people, and families, offers simple guidelines for making museums and heritage sites more welcoming and enjoyable for all.
