THE MUSEUM PRIZE 

The award of an annual prize or prizes to museums and galleries in the UK, Channel Islands and Isle of Man, for the purpose of promoting museums and galleries to the general public.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending is declining
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
