UK Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has confirmed that the country's national museums will remain free and open for all, ending months of speculation that international visitors could be charged admission to institutions such as the British Museum or the Tate. The announcement secures the long-standing policy of free entry, which is widely seen as central to public access to arts and culture in the UK, and will reassure museum leaders and visitors alike.
Why now: Months of speculation about introducing charges for foreign visitors had raised concerns over access to national museums, so the government's confirmation puts the debate to rest.
