Publication of Arts Council Review 17 Dec 2025

NMDC welcomes the publication of the Independent Review of Arts Council England. We are grateful to Baroness Hodge for consulting so widely across the museums sector and are encouraged to see that many of the issues raised by NMDC and our members are reflected in the Review – including the need to strengthen ACE’s role as development agency for museums, and positive feedback on the ACE Museums team. We look forward to seeing the Government’s response and to working with DCMS and ACE to take forward the Review’s recommendations.
