Sharing Collections

Question
What steps her Department is taking to encourage museums and the British Library to share their collections and take them into schools.

Thanks to the Government’s support for the renaissance in the regions programme, museums across England are working with schools in greater numbers than ever before. I am pleased that, as a result of our investment, every school in Durham will benefit from educational access to museum collections.
