The Museum Registration Scheme was established in 1988 and the
Victoria Art Gallery was registered in 1990.
In 2004, the Scheme was renamed Accreditation to better reflect its
purpose and the achievements of those museums which meet the
standards it sets out.
Accreditation recognises the steps that the Vctoria Art
Gallery takes to meet the needs of today’s visitors, while at
the same time safeguarding their collections for future
generations.
Under the scheme the Victoria Art
Gallery is required to provide:
- opportunities to use, enjoy and learn from the collections
- an assurance that the collections, including donated items, are
held in trust for society
- information about the museum, its collections and its
services
- a commitment to consultation with users, to ensure that future
developments and changes take account of their needs and
interests
- appropriate visitor facilities or details about facilities
nearby.
