National museums and galleries, and the Government Art Collection, deliver a wide range of partnership work with public and community organisations across the country.

We want to go further and made a commitment in our manifesto to increase the loans made from national collections to communities across the country. We will soon set out how we intend to deliver this. Initial phases of work have included engaging with the sector to understand the opportunities and challenges in this area, and providing additional financial support to national museums and galleries, as confirmed at the Autumn Budget.
