Grainne Millar on Free access to museums and monuments. Answers to our Questionnaire for La Rencontre de Liverpool.
Structure Organisation Temple Bar Cultural Trust [ non profit company focused on cultural development]

1- What is your appreciation of the question of free access to museums and monuments?

Free access to museums and monuments is about creating opportunities for people of all ages and from all social and economic backgrounds to freely participate in the cultural life of a place. Free access is not just about removing the financial admission charge  - it is about removing perceived obstacles that prevent people from freely participating in cultural life such as issues relating to opening hours of the cultural spaces, outreach and educational initiatives that work with community groups, disadvantaged groups, active-retired groups and schools groups to break down barriers, remove the idea of culture as "elitist" and free access is also about encouraging people to express themselves through arts and culture.

We will be holding a number of working seminars with artists, policymakers, experts and researchers who will be commissioned to provide written contributions to this publication. An Editorial Committee will follow the process and ensure coherence to the project and proposals which will aim to be concise and focused.
