二十世纪后期，英国博物馆的数量显着增加。除了 20 世纪 80 年代和 90 年代的遗产争论之外，博物馆的繁荣并未受到太多调查。我们的“博物馆地图”项目收集并分析了 1960 年至 2019 年间开放的 4000 多家英国博物馆的数据。在此，我们展示我们的研究结果。我们发现博物馆的数量从 1000 家左右增加到 2016 年的 3360 家，该行业持续扩张了 55 年，但增长和关闭的速度因博物馆的规模、治理、主题和地点而异。中小型博物馆和独立博物馆激增；英格兰南部的增长速度远远超过北部；当地历史博物馆成倍增加，新主题不断涌现。博物馆的繁荣重塑了这个行业。
During the late-twentieth century there was a significant increase in the number of museums in the UK. Apart from the polemic heritage debates of the 1980s and 1990s, the boom in museums was not much investigated. Our project “Mapping Museums” collected and analysed data on over 4000 UK museums that were open in the period from 1960 to 2019. Here we present our findings. We show that the number of museums increased from around 1000 to a highpoint of 3360 in 2016, that the sector continuously expanded for 55 years, but that the rate of growth and closure varied depending on the museums’ size, governance, subject matter, and location. Small and medium museums proliferated, as did independent museums; growth in the South of England far out-paced that in the North; local history museums multiplied and new subjects came on stream. The museum boom re-shaped the sector.
