"It takes a nation of museums..."

Posted by Charlie Tims at 6:50pm on Tuesday, 28th October 2003

Last night I went to City Hall to witness the launch of 'Holding up the Mirror', a report by the London Museums Agency into cultural diversity in the capital's museums. The report makes for a scathing indictment on equitable representation amongst the employees of some of our flagship cultural institutions. There was a definite consensus that, if we want a substantial portion of London to view the term 'cultural institution' as anything other than a rather oxymoronic, un-holy welding of two clumsy words, something radical will need to take effect.

You can read the report here.

not sure about that statistic. i worked at the tate britain not so long ago and it struck me that the staff was very mixed/international/ethnic - much more so than Demos. Admittedly not sure that this was the case so much with the people with real power - i.e. the curators.
