MAA tells the story of two million years of human history through one million objects – but the number of stories we have to tell are countless
-Nick Thomas
The prize aims to reward and highlight innovation and creativity in bringing objects and collections to life.
MAA holds a world-class collection of art, artefacts and archaeological discoveries from around the world. For too long a hidden gem, it now makes its outstanding collections accessible to the broadest possible audiences, in original and imaginative ways.
As well as the £100,000 for Museum of the Year, MAA is also in the running for the Clore Award for Learning, an additional award of £10,000 which recognises achievements in learning programmes in UK museums. Both winners will be drawn from the ten finalists.
