It highlights the significant level of current and expected cuts, but also finds that many local authority museums are doing well. Key success criteria are strong, proactive leadership, alignment with local authority priorities, and a culture of enterprise not only in a museum but in its local authority.<\/p>\n<p>John Orna-Ornstein, Director, Museums, Arts Council England, said: \u2019Even at a time of challenge\u00a0many local authority museums are thriving. We\u2019re seeing museums across the country whose own\u00a0enterprising spirit is matched by their local authority \u2013 the two must go hand in hand. Local authority investment in culture and heritage is vital, but we are working in tough economic times. This research is a challenge\u00a0to local authorities as well as to\u00a0museums, to seek out creative ways to see our nation\u2019s museums flourish\u00a0for future generations. No one size fits all, but there are plenty of models for strategic, thoughtful change at a time of reduced funding.\u2019<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/press.artscouncil.org.uk\/press_releases\/new-report-explores-challenges-faced-by-local-authority-museums\/\" target=\"_blank\">View the press release and download the report<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arts Council England has highlighted concerns relating to the economic resilience of Local Authority (LA) museums following spending cuts, but also gives some case studies which celebrate the success of those who thrive and suggests ways of dealing with museum-related &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/?p=11273\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11273","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sector-newsblog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11273","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11273"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11273\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11274,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11273\/revisions\/11274"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11273"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11273"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11273"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
