24 Hour Museum (24HM) is a government-funded website promoting museums, galleries and heritage sites across the UK.

Read by over a million people every month, it is published, together with a range of other websites including 24HM's children's zone www.show.me.uk, by a not-for-profit organisation called Culture24.

The site is produced by a small team of journalists in Brighton, aided by volunteer and student journalists all over Britain. It's sustained by a range of funders including MLA, Arts Council England and Visit Britain.

Event listings, collection info and venue details are a vital part of the site. This info comes from a live database which UK museums, galleries, libraries and archives are able to use directly. Find out more about being part of our database here.

Project funding also comes from partnerships with organisations such as the Clore Duffield Foundation, the Paul Hamlyn Foundation and the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF).

24 Hour Museum is undergoing redevelopment
The organisation that publishes 24 Hour Museum changed its name to Culture24 on November 26 2007, beginning a period of change and improvement that will see a new website replace the current 24HM site in summer 2008. This will feature a new resource discovery section for teachers, themed sections, more contemporary arts coverage and more ways for users to participate.
