Shortlist for family friendly museum award announced
Six museums have been announced on the shortlist for the Telegraph Family Friendly Museum Award.
Picked from 20 possible candidates, the shortlist was selected by a panel of judges led by Jenny Abramsky, Heritage Lottery Fund's chair, alongside BBC arts editor Will Gompertz, Telegraph head of arts and entertainment, Andrew Pettie and director of kids in museums, Dea Birkett.
The six short-listed museums are; Brixham Heritage Museum, Devon; Horniman Museum and Gardens, London; National Maritime Museum, Cornwall; Nature in Art, Gloucester; North Lincolnshire Museum; Nottingham Contemporary Gallery.
During the course of the summer, anonymous families, acting as undercover judges, will test the short listed museums. The winner of the award, chosen by the family judges, will be announced in September.
