Petition Addressing Concerns Regarding Governance, Transparency, & Funding of Amgueddfa Cymru – Museum Wales
Amgueddfa Cymru – Museum Wales, "Together we shape the story of Wales," is Wales's most important cultural institution. A leader in education and cultural participation, inspiring people through its museums and collections. However, the Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee's report on Amgueddfa Cymru 2021-22 highlights significant issues related to governance, transparency, and funding, posing risks to the effective functioning and long-term sustainability of this institution.
More details
The report reveals unsatisfactory governance arrangements, delays in the availability of crucial information, and budgetary pressures leading to job losses and risks to national collections. These issues, along with the recent closure of the National Museum Cardiff due to maintenance issues, raise concerns about Amgueddfa Cymru's ability to serve the public interest and contribute to the cultural and heritage landscape of Wales.
Call to Action:
We, the (public) undersigned, call on the Senedd to:
Urge the Welsh Government to address the concerns raised in the report and take necessary actions to improve governance, transparency, and funding of Amgueddfa Cymru.
Ensure that Amgueddfa Cymru has the resources and support it needs to fulfill its mission and contribute to the cultural and heritage landscape of Wales.
Promote transparency and accountability in the management of Amgueddfa Cymru and other public bodies.
