Self-generated income for UK museums ‘can only go so far’ in filling gaps left by funding cuts, report says

A new report from the National Audit Office (NAO) warns that state-funded UK museums are reaching a breaking point as they attempt to offset significant government funding cuts with self-generated income. Analyzing 15 major institutions including the British Museum and Tate, the report reveals that while self-generated revenue rose by 53% since 2021-22, it remains highly volatile and susceptible to external factors like tourism costs and membership churn. Despite a recent £31m funding boost from the DCMS, over half of these institutions report being in a worse financial position than they were three years ago.

Almine Rech reopens in London with downsized gallery

International dealer Almine Rech is reopening in London with a downsized first-floor space in Mayfair, near Sotheby's on George Street, after closing her former London gallery in August and putting the UK business into voluntary liquidation. The new venue, roughly a quarter of the size of the previous one, will operate by appointment starting next month, showcasing curated presentations of 20th- and 21st-century works. A new company, Almine Rech Advisory, was registered on 30 September, with Rech as the controlling person and Maximilian Lefort as director. The liquidation was described as a technical step to restructure a lease that no longer aligned with the gallery's plans; Companies House filings showed a deficit of £6.3m, mostly from intercompany and shareholder loans, with no unpaid obligations to artists, employees, or suppliers.

How one Swiss museum helped to evacuate thousands of Gaza artefacts ahead of an Israeli strike

The Geneva Museum of Art and History (MAH) coordinated a frantic evacuation of thousands of archaeological artefacts from Gaza’s main storage facility on 9 September, ahead of an Israeli strike that destroyed the Al-Kawthar residential tower housing the repository. The facility, operated by the French Biblical and Archaeological School of Jerusalem (EBAF), contained finds from key sites including the fourth-century Saint Hilarion Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage site. MAH staff, led by curator Béatrice Blandin, negotiated with Israeli authorities, Swiss diplomats, UNESCO, and the Aliph Foundation to secure a brief window for removal. Despite the operation, 30% of the artefacts—mostly ceramics and lapidary objects—could not be saved.
