This research will interrogate the effectiveness of programming concerned with increasing 'diversity' in artmuseums as related to experiences of those who identify as Black Minority and Ethnic (BME). Gallerieswith different approaches to increasing their inclusivity towards BME people will provide case studies.Data from focus groups and interviews will be used to assess institutional policies, aims, objectives and corresponding metrics. This project aims to improve understanding of barriers to art museums for BMEpeople, inform conversations around programming in order to make them more inclusive, and assist UKgalleries in better representing the ethnic diversity of Britain.
