Annual review
Each year we publish an Annual Review highlighting our activity and achievements.
Review 23
The Review 23 publication highlights our activity and achievements from the past year.
This year’s review is themed around connection, which threads throughout our work. At our heart is the National Collection, which connects us with people, cultures, communities and other museums. And, through our own museums, the National Collection helps our visitors to connect with our shared heritage, and to consider questions of place, identity and the environment.
For the third year, we’re presenting our review in a digital-only format, which not only helps us to reduce our carbon footprint but also allows you to explore our activities over the past 12 months in richer detail.
