Britain?s flagship photography institution will lose 15% in Government grants over the next four years as a result of the Comprehensive Spending Review, Amateur Photographer<\/em> can reveal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last week the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced \u00a381 billion pounds worth of public spending cutbacks.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for the National Media Museum (NMM), which is based in Bradford, West Yorkshire told Amateur Photographer<\/em> today: ?We know that our grant-in-aid will be reduced by around 15% in real terms in stages over the next four years, starting in April.<\/p>\n

?We have already been working to prepare for a range of scenarios and to seek efficiencies that can serve to minimise the impact of the cuts.<\/p>\n

?Over the next few weeks we will confirm our plans for accommodating this reduction.?<\/p>\n

The NMM houses the historic collection of the Royal Photographic Society which includes the earliest surviving negative created by British photography inventor William Henry Fox Talbot.<\/p>\n

Its bosses admitted today that a vital part of its future success will be the museum’s ‘ability to continue to attract visitors and generate income’.<\/p>\n

Last month the NMM said it already encourages visitors to make donations but insisted it is committed to free entry<\/a> as government-funded bodies nationwide faced possible budget cuts. <\/p>\n

Earlier this year the museum received Government approval to open a base in London, widely rumoured to be located at the Science Museum.<\/p>\n

Though there are currently no plans to shelve this project in light of the massive cutbacks, the NMM spokesman added: ‘The National Museum of Science & Industry [of which the NMM is a part] must continue to invest – to make savings, to generate income and to come out of this difficult period stronger and more secure.<\/p>\n

‘Many investments are made with money raised in addition to our grant-in-aid from donations and from private and public funding organisations.<\/p>\n

‘Raising our capability is a key part of the strategy to secure our future.’<\/p>\n

The NMM?s trustees include James Bond film producer and photography collector Michael G Wilson.<\/p>\n
