Oxford Aspire is a consortium of the Oxford University Museums[1] and the Oxfordshire County Council Museums Service. It was established in April 2012 as one of the 16 Major Partner Museum services nationwide funded by Arts Council England[2] when ACE took over funding for Museums from Museums Libraries and Archives (MLA).
The consortium includes the following museums:
- The Ashmolean Museum
- Museum of the History of Science, University of Oxford
- Oxford University Museum of Natural History
- Pitt Rivers Museum
- The Oxfordshire Museum
As part of their activity Oxford ASPIRE runs a programme of knowledge sharing events for the sector around the themes of Fundraising and Philanthropy, Commercial Enterprise, Managing Museums and Digital.
In March 2015 ASPIRE will be running a new leadership programme for the sector called Oxford Cultural Leaders. This week-long residential for established and emerging cultural sector leaders will be delivered in partnership with the Saïd Business School.
