UK to Charge Admission to National Museums for International Visitors

UK to Charge Admission to National Museums for International Visitors

The United Kingdom’s Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has accepted several recommendations from a report last year aimed at increasing access to the arts in the country. One of these would require international visitors to pay an entry fee to visit the UK’s national museums, according to a report in the Financial Times. The initial report, reviewing the Arts Council England, was published last December and led by Baroness Margaret Hodge, a former member of Parliament. It was then sent for review by the UK government, which has accepted several of the recommendations in the report. Related Articles Per the FT article, the implementation of charging international visitors to enter national museums is “conditional on the government first rolling out a universal ID scheme, which would make it easier to differentiate domestic and international visitors.” The entry fees for international visitors, as well as “incentivising philanthropy [and] cultural tax reliefs,” are meant to fund the other recommendations, which include a new fund aimed at supporting aspiring artists, access to arts education to every …

Trump Stuns With Bombshell Admission About His Iran War

Trump Stuns With Bombshell Admission About His Iran War

Donald Trump left critics in disbelief on Sunday with a remark about his Iran war during a press huddle on board Air Force One. The president was discussing his call for other countries to send ships to help secure the Strait of Hormuz, the vital — and currently effectively shut — waterway off Iran through which roughly one-fifth of the world’s oil passes. Asked how quickly those deployments would happen, Trump said it would “start immediately,” with different countries offering different forms of assistance, including minesweeper boats. He later said: “So, we need, I, I would really, I’m demanding that these countries come in and protect their own territory because it is their territory, it’s the place from which they get their energy and they should come and they should help us protect it.” Then came the line that quickly sparked reaction online: “You could make the case that maybe we shouldn’t even be there at all because we don’t need it.” “We have a lot of oil,” said Trump. “We were the number one …

Harrison Ford’s Has Jimmy Kimmel Howling With Sex Admission

Harrison Ford had a bold admission for Jimmy Kimmel during a recent appearance on the US comedian’s late-night talk show. During the interview, Harrison was played a clip from his hit Apple TV+ series Shrinking, in which his character references a big moment from earlier in the actor’s career by humming a section of the Indiana Jones theme song. “That was something that you just surprised [the cast] with?” the host asked after playing the clip, to which Harrison responded simply: “I don’t remember.” He was similarly stumped when Jimmy asked how the cast and crew reacted to his unscripted adlib, to which the chat show presenter asked: “Maybe you’ll remember this… have you ever made love to the soundtrack of one of your films? Maybe Witness?” The Star Wars legend then left a long pause of more than 10 seconds, before replying: “Of course I have!” As the audience – and Jimmy – burst out laughing, the comic conceded: “It’s a dumb question…” Now 60 years into his screen acting career, Harrison hasn’t ever …
