Museum of the Year recipients. Arts minister Caroline Dinenage on the Cultural Recovery Fund results

As the first of the government grants are awarded we ask if it is going to be enough.

This year’s Art Fund Museum of the Year Prize will be split 5 ways rather than a winner being chosen from a shortlist. Jenny Waldman, director of Art Fund, announces the museums who will each receive £40,000. We’ll also be looking at each individual museum over the course of this week on Front Row

On the day that the government awarded Culture Recovery Fund grants totalling Β£257m to arts organisations, culture minister Caroline Dinenage discusses concerns being faced by the arts and entertainment sector. Stephanie Sirr, chief executive of Nottingham Playhouse which received a grant of nearly Β£800,000, outlines the significance of this cash boost.
