Abstract
The huge increase in rural museums in the UK (especially England) during the second half of the twentieth century was largely a response at community level to the great changes in agricultural production and the rural way of life brought about by new technology. The senses of change and of loss were expressed through these new museums and could be shared personally by visitors from urban as well as rural backgrounds. This audience has now changed and no longer has a personal connection or affinity with the core collections of these museums. This paper explores the ways in which rural museums are responding to these changes.
