The museums map: Mapping access to England’s museums

Given museums’ importance, and in the context of the current review of museums in England that is underway, we have systematically studied access to them in England using an interactive map that we are launching today. The map allows museum access to be examined from the perspective of:

  1. national access to museums overall (the distance layer);

  2. the size of populations surrounding museums (the museums layer);

  3. the number of museums across local authorities and regions, relative to the number of people living in these areas (the area layer).
