Welcome to Museum Ethnographers Group
The Museum Ethnographers Group is a UK-based, but international collective, whose members include:
museum curators, conservators & educators
university academics & students
artists & amateurs
Join us to become involved in debates relating to museum ethnography, whether you are working in museums, teaching, researching, studying, or just interested.
The first gathering together of interested parties occurred in 1974 and MEG was formally founded in April 1976. MEG has a long history of bringing individuals, institutions, artists and museum collections together to build knowledge and understanding around museum ethnography.
MEG is an active interface between museum professionals and university-based researchers and is recognised in the UK museums sector as a key subject-specialist network.
The Museum Ethnographers Group is registered as a charity in England and Wales with the Charity Commission (no. 1023150).
