We’re local authority, so have always been free. Used to be seasonal only opening 8 weeks over the summer with two changing displays (until early summer 2013, when we changed to all year opening), only had one fixed display since 2016.

If you reply to this message, your message will be sent to all the people on the list, not just the author of this message. ------------------------------- ***apologies for cross posting*** Hi all, A little bit of a vague request, but any contribution and advice would be very much appreciated. I have recently been appointed curator of the upcoming Bow Street Police Museum in London. It's going to be a small permanent museum in the former police station and magistrates court in Covent Garden - the majority of the building is becoming a hotel. We will be running the museum independently from the hotel and as such are developing a business plan to enable us to apply for charitable trust status. To help us understand our business model, I'm collating data from comparable sized museums, which offer around 100-150 square metres of publicly accessible space. If your museum falls within that size category, I'd be very interested to know: - what you charge an adult to enter (if at all) - what your annual visitor figures are - what your estimated size is (in square metres) Any information would be very welcome - please reply to me off list.
