The announcement marks 60 years since the first ever arts white paper.
Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy is set to announce millions in funding for museums, libraries, and arts venues, marking 60 years since Jennie Lee's first arts white paper. The funding includes a 5% budget increase for national museums and galleries, a new £270 million ArtsEverywhere Fund, and investments in capital works, museum maintenance, heritage restoration, and library improvements. The announcement aligns with Labour's manifesto pledge to enhance access to the arts and has been praised by cultural leaders.
