Media Space, which will be based at the Science Museum, is the result of a tie-up with the National Media Museum (NMM) in Bradford, West Yorkshire. <\/p>\n

Asked whether the gallery would be affected by cuts<\/a> threatening the closure of the NMM, a Media Space spokeswoman said the venue will open on 21 September as planned.<\/p>\n

However, she added: \u2018We have scaled back the original Media Space programme as a result of the decline in grant aid to date.’<\/p>\n

In the development stage, Media Space planned to host three major exhibitions a year, alongside up to six smaller exhibitions or installations.<\/p>\n

\u2018This has been scaled down to two major exhibitions and two smaller exhibitions\/installations in the Virgin Media Studio,’ the spokeswoman told Amateur Photographer <\/em>(AP).<\/em><\/p>\n

The NMM belongs to the Science Museum Group which says it has had to
\ndeal with a 25% \u2018real terms cut in funding’ <\/a>over the past four years. <\/p>\n

The gallery had originally been due to open in the spring.<\/p>\n

Media Space organisers subsequently delayed the gallery’s re-scheduled summer opening after the project manager quit <\/a>for another post.<\/p>\n

AP understands that the decision to scale back Media Space’s operations was made late last year.<\/p>\n

The gallery is set to showcase a mixture of National Media Museum (NMM) exhibits – covering photography, film, television and the internet. <\/p>\n

The Science Museum Group received \u00a338.25m in grant aid from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport in 2011-12.<\/p>\n

The gallery will take over a 1,800m2 purpose-built area on the second floor of the Science Museum in South Kensington.<\/p>\n

Media Space will open with Only in England: Photographs by Tony Ray-Jones and Martin Parr.<\/p>\n

Last year, photographs donated by Michael G Wilson, co-producer of the James Bond films, were sold to help raise hundreds of thousands of pounds for Media Space.<\/p>\n

A further \u00a347,000 was raised through the auction of a dinner jacket worn by Daniel Craig <\/a>in the James Bond movie Skyfall.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the NMM cautiously welcomed<\/a> remarks by Culture Minister
\nEd Vaizey who suggested that the museum will escape the axe because the
\nfeared Government cuts will not take place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
