Stop V&A London stealing 400,000 photo's from Bradford's National Media Museum
The Victoria and Albert Museum in London want to take 400,000 items from The National Media Museum in Bradford as it's apparently "more accessible". To who exactly?
Arts Council Shares:
Bradford given £18.7M (-15.9M)
Leeds given £75.3M (+25.5M)
4 London Boroughs given +£830.9M
We struggled to raise £2M for NMM after government cuts, while London got billions more pounds for the Arts/Museums sector than they contributed too.
So not only are they stealing our money, they now want to steal 400,000 items (mainly photo's) which attract people to the Media Museum.
There's also the fact film was 1st shown (Bradford) and filmed (Leeds) in West Yorkshire before London even knew what film was, so its rightful place is here in BRADFORD!
There's a world outside London!
