The Russell-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum, Bournemouth has been shortlisted in two of the 11 awards categories for the coveted Museums & Heritage Awards for Excellence in 2013-2014.
In association with the Guardian Cultural Professionals Network, there were over 350 nominations for the prestigious ‘Culture Pros Pick Award’, the top award, which will be presented to the UK’s most inspiring museum or heritage visitor attraction. The Russell-Cotes is one of just five venues to be shortlisted in this category and the public will now vote for the institution which they feel is a shining example for its ground-breaking approach to engaging with audiences and visitors.
The winners of the awards will be announced at a ceremony in central London on 14 May 2014.
