Many museums and galleries around County Durham, Teesside and the wider North-East have not announced plans to reopen, with confirmation that Step 3 of the roadmap out of lockdown is going ahead coming just last night. But those preempting the green light to swing doors open and welcome back customers will be doing so from next week. Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums has announced staggered reopening dates for its venues, with Laing Art Gallery and Great North Museum: Hancock, both in Newcastle, opening on May 17.

Calls for full inventory of world artefacts held by Church of England

Calls for full inventory of world artefacts held by Church of England Ben Quinn © Provided by The Guardian Photograph: Kalyan Veera/University of Aberdeen/AFP/Getty Images The Church of England has been urged to open up its books on the full range of world artefacts in its possession after promising this week to repatriate two Benin bronzes. The move came amid a gathering sense of momentum around the issue of the disputed bronzes – most of which were looted by British forces in 1897. While the British government has said UK institutions should “retain and explain” contested artefacts, the University of Aberdeen announced last month it would repatriate a bust of an Oba, or king of Benin, which it has had since the 1950s. The Horniman Museum in London also confirmed it was taking steps to return artefacts.
