Request

Request Received: 31 August 2021

I'd like to request further details on the Museum, Galleries and Collections Fund which helps supports university museums.

Questions:

•I see there was a review of this grant in 2016. Please could you send me the findings and recommendations from this review?

•Does the fund still exist, or one that helps fund university museums to help with the costs of opening up their collection to a wider community? If so how much is the funding pot, how long is the funding period, and what are the outcomes expected from the university museums?

•Has there been a review since the 2016. If so please could you share a copy of the findings and
recommendations?
