Arts Council England (ACE) has announced details of a new £20m fund aimed at English civic museums looking to safeguard community access to their collections and invest in upgrading their services.

The Museum Renewal Fund follows the announcement from the culture secretary in February of the £270m Arts Everywhere Fund, which aims to deliver on the government’s Plan for Change to boost economic growth and increase opportunities for people across the country.

The funding is targeted at museums owned and directly maintained by local authority funding, or with a governance link to a local authority. The arts council says the money is an “urgent intervention” to support “at risk” museums facing serious budget pressures or at risk of closure.
