Museums are cultural bridges linking past, present and future. They give us insight into and understanding of cultures and take us on historical journeys. The Museums Commission's role is to present the Kingdom’s identity, history, heritage and culture to all. The Commission does this by strengthening and enhancing the quality of museums in line with international best practice, encouraging investment and boosting career opportunities within the museum and related sectors. The Commission champions museums, raising public awareness and highlighting their importance to all, and in particular families, young people, tourists, researchers and students. The Commission formally represents the Kingdom at regional and international events.
