Funding for Scottish museums and galleries
A number of museums and galleries run by local authorities, universities and independent trusts across Scotland have been handed the chance to apply for a share of £750,000 by the Scottish Government.
A total of 36 collections are eligible to apply for the additional funding, which has been made available through the Museums Galleries Scotland (MGS)-administered Recognition Scheme. Scottish culture minister Fiona Hyslop said: "The Recognition Scheme ensures there are additional resources available for some of the most important collections held in Scotland.
"This additional capital funding will contribute to improving visitors' experience and developing excellence in these internationally important collections." MGS chief executive Joanne Orr added: "These collections are geographically diverse - creating positive impact among communities right across Scotland. This also supports Scotland's international profile of significant collections."
Funding awards will be announced in the spring.
