Yorkshire museums under threat
It's being reported that if proposed budget cuts go ahead, then the National Media Museum in Bradford or the National Railway Museum in York could be forced to close.
Campaign to save Bradford's media museum
Campaigners are gathering in Bradford this morning in the fight to save the National Media Museum.
Earlier this week it was revealed that either the media museum, York's Railway museum, or the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester would "almost certainly" have to close if budget cuts go ahead.
It's feared the Chancellor could announce a 10% cut to the funding of the Science Museum Group, the group which runs the three attractions, when he announces the results of the comprehensive spending review later this month.
