Our Mission

Founded in 2020, the Folklore Museums Network works collaboratively with its members to identify, display and disseminate knowledge about the material folklore collections held in museums across the UK. . Importantly, this material culture is inextricably linked our beliefs and traditions, as well as our intangible cultural heritage - our songs, stories, beliefs, rituals and creative practices. The goal of the network, put simply, is to assist the museum sector to meaningfully fulfil the International Council of Museum’s definition of a museum, i.e., “a permanent institution in the service of society that researches, collects, conserves, interprets and exhibits tangible and intangible heritage.” The FMN does this via projects, publications and events, to learn more click here.
