We are absolutely thrilled to share some incredible news from one of our very own DBN members, the wonderful Beamish Museum! They have officially been named Art Fund Museum of the Year 2025 – and we couldn't be more proud!
This is a truly well-deserved accolade, and everyone here at DBN is bursting with excitement for the Beamish team. We absolutely love Beamish and have always admired their dedication to bringing history to life in such an engaging and inspiring way. Their commitment to preserving our heritage and creating an unforgettable experience for visitors is simply outstanding.
Being crowned Art Fund Museum of the Year is a testament to their hard work, innovation, and the significant impact they have on our cultural landscape. They were in fantastic company among the other amazing finalists, Compton Verney, Golden Thread Gallery, Chapter, and Perth Museum, making this win even more special.
Beamish Museum continually demonstrates how museums can be vibrant, inclusive, and transformative for their visitors and communities.
Join us in sending the biggest congratulations to Beamish Museum on this phenomenal achievement! We look forward to seeing all the wonderful things they will continue to do.
