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.

Bumping around in the back of a truck, we descend underground.
Just the headlights guide our way into the gloomy tunnels ahead.
We’re heading into South Crofty mine in Cornwall, where copper and tin have been excavated for hundreds of years. This tunnel, we believe, is Elizabethan, so it dates back to the 1500s,” says Richard Williams, CEO of Cornish Metals, as we enter one of the oldest parts of the site.
But access is limited. Much of the mine flooded after South Crofty shut in 1998.
