Between 2018–2019, more than 10.5 million people had the chance to see objects from the collection outside of London – a number split across 2,800 objects loaned to 147 venues.

We're committed to sharing the collection with as many people as possible, which is why we work with partner museums, galleries and communities across the UK.

We share the collection through touring exhibitions, spotlight loans, partnership galleries and long-term loans.
