Question
To ask the Scottish Government, further to its commitment to continue to support national museums and galleries to ensure they remain free to access, in light of the cost of living crisis, whether it will provide more detail on how it will do so.
Answer
The National Collections are an important part of Scotland’s culture. As part of setting and reviewing annual budgets for grant in aid, the Scottish Government maintains close contact with National Museums Scotland and the National Galleries of Scotland about their cost and revenue, in order to continue to ensure that their permanent collections remain open to the public free of charge.
