Jo will chat to artist Grayson Perry about the winners of the Art Fund Museum of the Year 2020, straight after the winners are announced on The One Show on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ One.

The Art Fund Museum of the Year 2020 is the biggest museum prize in the world. Recognising the challenges that museums face this year, the prize money awarded has been increased to a total of Β£200,000, a 40% increase over previous years, and is equally divided between five winning museums, chosen for their achievements in the year 2019-2020.

The Judges for Art Fund Museum of the Year 2020 are: Jago Cooper, Curator of the Americas, The British Museum; Dame Liz Forgan (Chair), Trustee, Art Fund; Ryan Gander, artist; Melanie Keen,Director, The Wellcome Collection; and Jenny Waldman, Director, Art Fund.

There are around 2,500 museums in the UK, large and small, national and local, many of them free,featuring everything from art and design to science, military and industrial heritage, and natural and maritime history. They have a vital role to play in the recovery of the country but even as they reopen, their future is uncertain. While the immediate response of public and other funders and the UK government’s rescue package for culture is welcome, museums’ finances have been shattered by closures and by the social distancing measures currently in place. They still face huge challenges in the months and years ahead.
