A French philanthropist and entrepreneur has funded travel for 100,000 museum visits for UK schoolchildren, in an effort to offset cultural inequality.
Frédéric Jousset launched the campaign from the British Museum this morning.
His foundation, Art Explora, has also teamed up with the museum, among other across the country, to launch ‘Time Odyssey’, a new interactive learning experience for 7-11 year olds.
The funding is announced after Art Explora commissioned research which found 14% of teachers have never taken their class to a museum. It also says over 60% had not organised a school museum trip in the last 12 months.
