Question
Does the Welsh Government support efforts by Museum Wales to decolonise its collections?
Answer
Answered by Trefnydd, Chief Whip and Cabinet Minister for Culture and Sport (Heledd Fychan)
We support efforts by our cultural institutions to ensure that they are accessible and relevant to everyone in Wales. Amgueddfa Cymru's work to improve understanding of the histories represented within its collections, engage with communities and provide fuller historical context, where appropriate, aligns with our commitment to equality, inclusion and an Anti-Racist Wales.
As with all curatorial matters, operational decisions relating to the management, interpretation and development of collections remain the responsibility of Amgueddfa Cymru and its Board of Trustees.
