answer text <p>The world-class collections in our museums help people understand and participate in our culture and heritage, improve wellbeing, and provide learning, education and research. Museums are supported by public funding worth over £800 million annually to support this access. The UK Government remains committed to free entry to the permanent collections of our 15 DCMS- sponsored national museums ,which in total received around 47 million visits in 2017/18 .Additional projects, through Arts Council England (ACE), aim to improve cultural participation for everyone, regardless of their background. For example, ACE funds Creative People and Places which supports participation in places with traditionally lower engagement with culture. The scheme has just announced 79 new places will be eligible to apply for £24 million of funding in 2019 and 2020, to fund projects until 2023/4.</p> more like this

answer text <p>A number of DCMS-sponsored museums have sites in different local authorities/regions but we do not have details of how the funding is allocated between sites. The national museums have partnerships with many regional and local museums and tour objects from their collections nationally and internationally. As arm’s length bodies, Arts Council England and the Heritage Lottery Fund allocate money to museums on behalf of the Department.</p><p>The Mendoza Review, published in November 2017, provides some details of how ACE, HLF and Local Authority funding was split between regions between 2011/12 - 2014/15. The Review also shows that in 2016/17, the last year for which information is available, there was a total of £839m public funding in England for all museums, giving a per capita figure of £15.18.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>The independent Mendoza Review, commissioned by the government and published on 14th November, shows that 28% of Arts Council England-Accredited museums are operated by local authorities and that they and other museums receive over £200m per year from local government. DCMS does not collect data on professional expertise in the museums sector but the Mendoza Review identifies the need for museums employees to diversify their skills to adapt to today’s funding environment.</p> more like this
