The Bailiwick of Guernsey is a British Crown Dependency located in the Channel Islands and includes the islands of Guernsey, Alderney, Sark, Herm and Jethou. We care for the core collections relating to archaeology, art, natural history and social history as part of the States of Guernsey.
Our Museums We are a member of the Museums Association and Accredited under the UK scheme administered by Arts Council England that sets nationally agreed standards for museums. Our accredited museums are: Guernsey Museum & Art Gallery Fort Grey Shipwreck Museum German Naval Signals Headquarters Castle Cornet & its five museums. PERMANENTLY CLOSED: Guernsey Telephone Museum (2011) Other museums which operate in Guernsey do not fall under our responsibility. Objects not on display are kept in our reserve collection stores, which may be visited by prior arrangement. We also manage and maintain 80 historic sites and have responsibility for field archaeology. Alderney and Sark - Alderney Museum is also accredited under the MLA scheme but is separately funded and administered by the Alderney Society. In Sark, La Societe Serquaise mount a changing display at their Heritage Rooms. Partnerships & Sponsorship Opportunities In Guernsey and indeed throughout the world, partnership with the private sector plays an important role in supporting and enhancing the work of museums and art galleries. We have responsibility for 3 castles, 8 museums, 80 historic sites and the finds from over 2,500 archaeological sites, including those of international importance. The collections include over 50,000 items including some 2,500 pieces of fine art and our exhibits come from many parts of the world as well as from our home. We are the major repository of the islands' culture and the guardian preserving it for the future. A partner has the opportunity to make a major contribution towards the objectives of the Museum, for example by supporting: Exhibitions at Guernsey Museum & Art Gallery Public Events at Castle Cornet or our other sites Conservation projects to preserving the island's heritage Educational initiatives to help the island's youth Publications to share our work with the wider world Enhancements of our sites to increase public enjoyment and understanding Partners can become intimately involved in planning and design work as well as enjoying a corporate presence in leaflets, posters and adverts. We have a high profile in the islands and rarely a week passes without our initiatives appearing in the local media and some in the national press. There will be photo opportunities, media coverage and the option for staff and clients to attend special events. The Head of Heritage Services maintains an up-to-date schedule of projects which would benefit from sponsorships or partnership with the private sector. We are always pleased to discuss any potential projects - contact us for more information. |
