    County Durham museum to get share of £4million funding pot

    A NORTH East museum is to get more than £250,000 as part of a national funding pot worth £4million.

    The grants, handed to a total of 33 museums and galleries in England from the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and the Wolfson Foundation, will fund projects in places like Hampton Court Palace in London and National Motor Museum in Hampshire.

    The Bowes Museum in Barnard Castle will use its grant of £254,900 to develop four new gallery spaces – bringing more of their collections to the public.
