Gulbenkian Prize Finds New Funding

“The biggest cash prize in [UK] arts, the £100,000 Gulbenkian prize for museums and galleries, is to be taken over next year by the Art Fund charity. The announcement, which will be made formally next week, will come as a great relief to the museums sector, which had been anxious for news that the prize would continue. It was established to emulate the glamour and the buzz of the Turner and Booker prizes for the beleaguered museums, but its funding was guaranteed for only five years.”
