<p>The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport provides grant-in-aid funding
to the 15 sponsored museums and galleries in England - with culture being a devolved
matter - and the Ministry of Defence for the three armed forces service museums. The
2017 Strategic Review of DCMS-Sponsored Museums examined their functions, effectiveness,
efficiency and accountability, and included a commitment to review grant-in-aid allocations
at the next Spending Review, taking into consideration whether changes are required
to meet current needs and performance.</p><p> </p><p>At this time, the government
has no plans to directly fund other museums through grant-in-aid. However, many other
museums are subject to public funding and the 2017 Mendoza Review of Museums in England
confirmed that, over the last ten years, the museum sector has received more than
£800 million annually from at least 16 different public sources. Arts Council England
is the main funding body for the wider museums sector and, between 2018 and 2022 will
invest more than £146m in grant-in-aid in museums across England.</p>
