Corporate Sponsorship – The Campaign for Museums
This is open to professional companies in the museum and gallery
sector and supports the Campaign for Museums generally. The
sponsorship at £500 per annum provides the opportunity
to get involved with the Campaign for Museums as follows:
listing on the MGM website as partner; two guests at the
MGM VIP Launch and an invitation to The Campaign for Museums
annual lunch – a select gathering of leaders in the
sector. The sponsorship is by invitation.
Sponsorship of MGM Debates
There will be several public debates during Museums and Galleries
Month at the National Portrait Gallery and V&A (tbc).
Subjects and speakers will be announced in early 2008. The
debates are aimed at an informed audience interested in museum
and gallery issues and conclude with a glass of wine.
The sponsor will be acknowledged in the publicity leading
up the debates and on the programme. We are offering this as
a package of £1,800 towards the costs of three debates.
Sponsorship of the Museums and Galleries Month VIP launch
This will take place in a central location in London; the guest
list includes ministers, MPs, civil servants and leaders
in the museum and gallery sector.
The sponsor will be invited to bring 2-4 guests to the event
and will be acknowledged on the printed invitations and in
the programme, as well as in our reports of the event and press
material. The sponsorship for this is £3,500.
Overall sponsorship of Museums and Galleries Month
This sponsorship is public-facing and appropriate for someone
wishing to reach museum and gallery visitors. It includes
presence on the 24 Hour Museum website during May, acknowledgment
in print (leaflets and posters) and press releases. More
information is available on request. The sponsorship fee
for this is by negotiation.
Museum of Me…
A new online initiative for Museums and Galleries Month. The
public will be invited to create their own museum online
(24 Hour Museum and www.mgm.org.uk) and join hundreds (perhaps
thousands of others) including MGM celebrities. This will
be one of the lead stories in the MGM media campaign. More
details are available on request – see contact below.
MGM Celebrity trails….
Help us create podcasts for the new celebrity trails – to
be featured online at www.24hourmuseum.org.uk (10million visits
a year). This is another major plank in our media campaign
for MGM 2008. More details on request.
Looking Beyond 2009: Plans for the Cultural Olympiad
As our three year plan for a Bigger and Better Museums and
Galleries Month moves into its final year, we are already looking
ahead to see how we should use the experience gained and the
awareness raised to best effect. London 2012 and the Cultural
Olympiad present us with the opportunity to create a new style
MGM from 2009 onwards.
The Great Museum Fest (working title); a festival of Britain’s
museums and galleries will take place in May from 2009 until
2012. Each year will have a separate theme, exploring Britishness,
leading to May 2012 when museums and galleries “Welcome
the World”.
The Festival will start on the first May Bank Holiday Weekend
and continue through till 18th May or the Saturday nearest
to it, designated Nuit des Musees by the Council of Europe
and coordinate by the French Government. We are now seeking
support and will be developing the branding and contents during
Autumn 2007.
