The Museums Association (MA) is an independent membership organisation representing museums and galleries in the UK and people who work in them.
The MA has over 7,000 members, individuals and institutions. Formed in 1889, the MA is the oldest museum association in the world.
Today it provides information through its website and publications, runs a series of events around museum issues, lobbies government and sets ethical standards through its policy department, and offers a comprehensive professional development programme helping members further their careers.

The MA's annual conference and exhibition takes place in 2010 in Manchester, October 4-6 at the Manchester Central Convention Complex.
