ACE Cuts
Despite all the protests from overpaid and under talented artists, Government's Spending Review has slashed 29.6% from the budget of Arts Council England (ACE), which will have to make a 50% cut in its administrative costs. That's a few social workers and other hangers-on for the chop, we hope. National museums will take a cut of 15%, but must remain free to enter. Click the title link to read the details.

I am so glad the museums are going to stay free, i was worried the government would see this as a bit of a money maker. It is great to see so many families, students, tourists etc enjoying the museums, it really adds to the experience of London.
Hi, Liz
I agree absolutely. Everyone, rich or poor, should have access to great works of art for free. And museums such as the Natural History Museum, the Science Museum, the V&A and the British Museum are national treasures to be be enjoyed by everyone.
And I'm sure their being free to enter provides a strong incentive for foreign tourists to visit England and London in particular. It all helps to pay our bills.
