On the day of the mad axe man, Museums Journal on the cuts in the cultural sector.
The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has announced cuts of 15% for all national museums.
Renaissance in the Regions
It will also cut the Renaissance in the Regions programme by 15% over the same period, to £45.567m in 2011, £44.725m in 2012, £44.050m in 2013 and £43.914m in 2014.
Arts Council England
Arts Council England (ACE) will receive an overall cut of 29.6%, from £387.728m in 2011 to £349.392m 2014, a total, in real terms, of nearly £350m. The DCMS has asked that ACE does not cut funding to its regularly funded organisations by more than 15%. Arts minister Ed Vaizey said the DCMS would also ask that ACE reduce its administration costs by 50%.
It is widely expected that ACE will inherit many of the functions of the Museums Libraries and Archives Council (MLA), including Renaissance, when the MLA is wound up in April 2012. Vaizey said a decision on this had not yet been made, but the body that inherits the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council's functions would receive a separate administration budget.
Local authorities
The chancellor George Osborne announced that local authority budgets would be reduced by 7.1% each year for the next four years. Museums are discretionary services for local authorities.
National museums
The government will maintain free entry to national museums, and capital projects at the British Museum, Tate Modern and British Library will go ahead.
The government will also allow national museums to access their reserves to a total of £143m over four years.
English Heritage
Funding to English Heritage is to be cut by 32% over four years, from £114.742m in 2011 to £96.962m in 2014.
Do the words cultural vandalism come to mind?
I realise that all debts have to be reduced after the world financial crash, and every civil servant wants to quarantine his or her own department from being slashed, but what a disaster :(
You know what will happen - entry fees will be introduced to galleries and museums, precious objects will be flogged off to private collectors, commercial profiteers will be invited in as "partners" and rescuing vulnerable historical and architectural sites won't go ahead :(

Yep, it's the thin end of the wedge. All sorts of ghastly scenarios are going to follow on from this.

#9 Hand the rings off to someone responsible: Have one of the attendants in your bridal party hang on to the rings before the ceremony. Drink water before you begin going around. The bubble has burst on baseball'son a Tuesday, and that meant that the lunchtime rush at Murray's was just beginning. Sometimes a sliced tomato is nice as well. U-Tube, excites them with video clips, etc. Seahawks PreviewThe Dallas Cowboys looked great in their opening week victory over the New York Giants. Pour your heart out to another friend, a parent, spouse or sibling.
