<p>The Government is committed to ensuring that arts and cultural experiences like
museums and galleries benefit everyone and not just the privileged few.</p><p> </p><p>Our
Culture White Paper set out Government’s expectation that all cultural organisations
in receipt of public money should reach out to everyone regardless of background,
education or geography. Earlier this month Arts Council England announced the ambition
to achieve a 4% uplift in the proportion of the budget spent outside London in their
2018-22 investment.</p><p> </p><p>Already this year National Museums Liverpool has
seen an 7% increase in the number of visits compared to this time last year. In the
coming months DCMS aims to pilot different schemes to increase visitors to museums
outside London and expand the ones that work, such as the Cultural Citizens pilot
with Kids in Museums in Birmingham. The Museums Review will look at evidence and make
further recommendations on widening participation.</p>
