Admissions' income of government sponsored museums in England 2019-2021, by museum

The total income from admissions of DCMS sponsored museums in England decreased sharply across most institutions in 2020/2021 over the previous fiscal year due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. From March 2020 onwards, museums, galleries, and cultural institutions in the country had to stay close for long periods, as the government introduced emergency measures to limit the spread of the virus. As a result of the closures, the admissions' income of the Tate Gallery Group amounted to around 1.6 million British pounds between April 2020 and March 2021, falling from over 13 million British pounds in 2019/2020. While all other institutions experienced a significant drop in earnings, the income from admissions of the National Gallery rose over the period considered. According to the gallery, the increase was determined by the income from admissions to international touring projects.
