Your museum and gallery and Holocaust Memorial Day

Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) offers museums and galleries an opportunity to spark interest and to inspire creativity through your collections, to challenge discrimination and promote a positive activity for the whole community. This Get involved guide gives you examples and practical suggestions for what you can do in your museum or gallery to mark HMD.

Your museum and gallery and Holocaust Memorial Day Download our Get involved guide for museums and galleries

With a focus on experiential learning, museum and gallery collections can be used to engage communities with the lessons of the Holocaust and more recent genocides, and are valuable in helping communities understand the impact on individuals. By organising an HMD display or workshop, you can bring a meaningful experience to your visitors and school groups, and engage new audiences.

For ideas and guidance on how your museum or gallery can mark HMD, download our Get involved guide for museums and galleries.
