The next overall budget for the Department for Digital, Media Culture and Sport (DCMS) will increase by £100 million to £1.7 billion; it will include £250 million to support local libraries and museums (which could help reverse the hundreds of library closures due to austerity in recent years), £27 million for maintenance at national museums, £90 million for cultural development outside London, and £25,000 given to every secondary school each year for “arts activities.” – The Art Newspaper
