How We Are Managed

The Museum is led by our CEO Chris Scudds, and he, supported by the Senior Executive Team (SET) and the Management Group (MG), has executive responsibility for running the Museum in accordance with the strategy and annual budget as approved by the Trustees.

The SET and MG meet no less than once a month and collectively take responsibility for all aspects of the organisation. This includes the conservation and preservation of the Collection, education through learning, engagement and outreach, property and estate maintenance, finance, ensuring provision of monthly management accounts, annual budgets and statutory accounts, sales and marketing, retail and visitor services, and the activities of the trading subsidiary.

Chris Scudds is passionate about our purpose, our people, and our values. He actively engages the whole team in a collaborative manner to draw upon their professional and subject matter expertise.
