Personally I didn't originally care, but since we now have a thread about the value of public funded art, it will make it easier for us, Joe Public, to evaluate the worth.
We'll wait, patiently.

I have been away so thank you for being patient.
I have been visiting some publicly funded art galleries which wouldn't exist if they weren't funded by the government. I suspect that if there was a move to charge an entrance fee at the Haworth there would be outcry.
This project was funded mostly by Lottery funding. About a quarter was funded from a Government pot which was set aside purely for creative projects.
