The City Art Gallery in Southampton, UK, is set to undergo urgent roof repairs after receiving a £2.23m (US$2.74m, €2.52m) grant from the UK’s Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS).
The grant, administered by Arts Council England, forms part of the Museum Estates and Development Fund and enables museums to undertake urgent infrastructure repairs.
Works will begin later this year and will see repairs carried out on the asphalt roof, HVAC systems, skylights and windows. The refurbishment is scheduled to complete in 2024.
“We care very much about our cultural heritage and this will help us to preserve this jewel in our city’s crown for current and future generation,” said Cllr Satvir Kaur, leader of Southampton City Council.
