Significant areas of England left without Renaissance funding
The Arts Council England today announced its 16 major partner museums that will be funded as part of the Renaissance programme.
There are some newcomers on the list such as the Cumbria Museums consortium, which includes the Wordsworth Trust and the Lakelands Arts Trust, which weren’t previously part of the hub structure.
But there were also some significant losers.
There is no major partner museum in the East Midlands despite the fact that Derby and Nottingham museum services applied as a partnership.
