Partners

We rarely work alone. People we’ve teamed up with to enhance what we do and bring the best to Sheffield include:

Yorkshire Museums Hub
As part of the Yorkshire Museums Hub, made up of Sheffield, Leeds, Bradford, Hull, and York, Museums Sheffield has worked collaboratively to improve the quality of the county's museums and galleries. This network has been made possible through the generous funding of MLA's Renaissance in the Regions programme.

V&A
A partnership between the V&A and Museums Sheffield was established in 1999 to extend access to the V&A's collections outside London. The partnership has allowed both organisations to learn from each other through skill and experience sharing at all levels. In January 2010, the V&A and Museums Sheffield renewed their partnership for a further five years.

Tate
Tate has a longstanding history with Museums Sheffield, lending exhibitions and work to the city and contributing to innovative learning initiatives, some of which are featured in the Projects & Outreach section of this site.

National Portrait Gallery
The NPG has also been a long term partner of Museums Sheffield, working with us to extend the reach of the Gallery's remarkable collection and with a particular emphasis on encouraging young visitors in Sheffield.

Sheffield University & Sheffield Hallam University
Through our Memorandums of understanding with both of Sheffield's universities we regularly work together on our public-facing programmes of exhibitions and events and behind the scenes on academic research and development.

The Guild of St George
The Guild of St George own the Ruskin collection on display in the Millennium Gallery and have worked with Museums Sheffield for many years to promote the enduring legacy of John Ruskin.

Sheffield Assay Office
Sheffield's Assay Office has been a key part of the city's silversmithing trade since 1773. Today we work together to support new and emerging metalworking talent in Sheffield.
