Greener Museums is a sustainability company that serves museums and the cultural sector. We work with museums of all kinds and sizes, all over the world, to help accelerate progress towards sustainability.

We track green trends, monitor legislation, conduct research, attend sustainability events, and keep a network of over 2000 sustainability experts. Why do we do that? So you don't have to. We spend our time understanding the critical areas of sustainability which will impact museums. We're experts so you don't have to be. It's our mission to take all of the technical sustainability jargon and translate it into a form that's easy to understand, relevant to museums and the cultural sector, and easy to implement. We want to help you to develop your own capacity to implement green projects in your museum.

The best way to get to know us is to sign up for our Green Guide Newsletter on the right of each page.

Do you think that sustainability is a good idea, but not sure how it fits in with your exhibition programme? Do you think a sustainable exhibition might be more expensive to put on, and not as good quality? Are you puzzled by what a “sustainable exhibition” might be? Are you just beginning to tackle sustainability in your organisation, but unclear as to the next steps? Then our new Greener Exhibits Theatre is the place for you. Greener Museums will be telling the full life-cycle story of sustainable museum exhibitions.
