Scotland’s museums and galleries contribute to a range of important national outcomes, for example: improving health and wellbeing, education, climate awareness, building cohesive communities and supporting fair work and skills development. Given the high impact in these areas – examples of which can be found in our case studies area – evidencing impact tends to focus on the social, wellbeing and learning benefits of museums and galleries. However, as a core part of the major culture and tourism economy in Scotland, there is a need to further understand the specific economic benefits, as an often underestimated area of impact of our sector.
