£60 million to protect our national heritage
From ancient objects to palaces, observatories and accessible toilets, projects are underway to maintain our historic national institutions and increase accessibility
Funding will support projects to welcome back visitors this summer
Museums, galleries and heritage organisations have been awarded £60 million to ensure nationally important museum collections and heritage assets are protected for future generations.
The funding, which has been awarded to organisations including the V&A, The Natural History Museum and the British Library has supported 100 projects for essential maintenance works delayed by the pandemic. It will help projects that were stalled due to the Covid-19 pandemic reach completion to allow institutions to welcome back visitors this summer.

A total of £60 million will go to 20 organisations across England to help finish projects that stalled due to Covid-19 and ensure institutions can welcome back visitors this summer.
The Imperial War Museums, Tate, National Portrait Gallery and Royal Parks will also receive funding, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) said.

Submitting.
Royal Armouries director general Dr Edward Impey said: We are delighted to be able to invest a substantial sum in the infrastructure of the Royal Armouries Museum at Leeds. One of the improvements this makes possible is the installation of a Changing Places toilet, a gold standard facility for the use of people with severe disabilities, including those with profound and multiple learning difficulties. This will not only be of value to visitors and provide a public service during opening hours, but encourage more people to visit the museum and explore Leeds Dock and the South Bank area of Leeds city centre.”
