Nearly 70 museums and libraries across England are to receive £33m in the latest round of the Government's Cultural Investment Fund.

The funding will go to 26 museums and 43 library services to support upgrades, such as vital repairs, renovations and the development of digital infrastructure.

Arts and Heritage Minister Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay said: ‘This major cultural investment will continue our work to level up access to culture across the country, with beneficiaries from St Ives to Sunderland and from Medway to Tyneside, building on the £100m of further Levelling Up funding for cultural and heritage projects confirmed at this month’s Budget.’

Darren Henley, Arts Council England chief executive, said: ‘Museums make a huge contribution to the lives of people in towns and cities across England. This investment in the physical fabric of their buildings helps to make sure that our museums are able to carry on serving their communities for years to come.

‘We’re excited to be delivering the next round of the programme on behalf of the DCMS because we know the positive impact this investment has on helping museums make a real difference across the country.’
