It has over 200 members who in turn manage over 320 museums. They include all 32 local authorities, universities, regimental and independent museums, ranging in size from small voluntary trusts to large metropolitan services, attracting in excess of 1 million visitors a year.SMC combines strategic leadership for the sector with provision of professional information, advisory and support services to members.
