We were at the Royal Shakespeare Company today to hear Lisa Nandy, Secretary of State for Department for Culture, Media and Sport, as she made the inaugural Jennie Lee lecture. And what a speech it was, marking the 60th anniversary of the first ever arts white paper, and unlocking £270m of national funding to help support museums, arts and culture. As we near the end of a very busy half-term week, we're delighted to hear that the government are choosing to invest in our museums, including us. This half term, over 100,000 visitors will have enjoyed the Royal Armouries collection across our sites in Leeds, Fort Nelson and the Tower. For many of our youngest visitors, this week will have been their very first visit to a national museum, an opportunity to inspire a lifelong interest in heritage and culture.   A huge thanks to our colleagues who have been working so hard to welcome so many visitors, and good news that our government is choosing to invest in our sector which helps to ensure that audiences can continue to enjoy their visits into the future.
