Renaissance in the Regions


Book Description

The report recommends that the government invests up to GBP267.2 million over 5 years to revitalize England's regional museums. The proposal is to create a centre of excellence or 'hub' in each of the nine English regions. These 'hubs' would consist of a leading museum and up to 3 partner museums or 'satellites' which would work together to provide leadership and set new standards in the museum sector. The new money is intended to be additional to present local authority and other funding, and will be used to raise core staffing levels by 25%, create new access, outreach and education programmes, finance new exhibition initiatives, and develop new information technology resources. The report forecasts that visits to leading regional museums could double, reaching 100,000 visits per year.
