question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what her Department's policy is on national museums charging for entry to temporary exhibitions.

uin	610
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/06/2017 answer text <p>The Government is committed to maintain free entry to the permanent collections of major national museums and galleries as a condition of funding. Temporary exhibitions are a valuable addition to the museum visitor experience, but can be costly to put on. Charging for these exhibitions is, for many national museums, one way of generating commercial income to supplement their grant-in-Aid and philanthropic revenue. DCMS-sponsored national museums operate at arm's length from government, and decisions about curatorial matters and entrance fees for temporary exhibitions are taken independently by these organisations.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 28/06/2017 14:33:37 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
