Answer

Museums and galleries enrich communities, creating thriving places for people to live and visit.

We’re working with Arts Council England and others to understand the sector’s priorities and needs, looking at the sector as a whole: from our commitment to restoring stability to Local Government, to our forthcoming review of Arts Council England.
