> Britain's main national museums and galleries will receive refunds of VAT
> when they allow free admission to the public, the Chancellor announced
> today.
> A new scheme will allow the main national museums and galleries to provide
> free admissions and still recover the VAT they incur on the things that the=
> y
> buy, removing this barrier to free entry. The Government hopes that nationa=
> l
> museums and galleries will take advantage of this scheme to move rapidly to
> free entry, opening up these great cultural institutions to the public.
> Chris Smith, the Secretary of State for Culture, said:
> "I am delighted with the Chancellor's announcement. The new scheme
> recognises the unique part our national museums and galleries play in
> British cultural life. I will now work with the museums to ensure that
> together we deliver the Government's objective that everyone should have
> free access to these main national museums and galleries."
> The Government will be consulting museums and galleries on the detail of th=
> e
> scheme, which will be introduced by September 2001. However, eligible
> museums and galleries which do not currently charge will be able to recover
> the VAT they incur from 1 April 2001.
> DETAILS
> 1. The Government is committed to universal access to the main national
> museums and galleries. These include the British Museum, the National
> Gallery, the Natural History Museum, the Imperial War Museum, the National
> Portrait Gallery, Tate Britain and Tate Modern, the Victoria & Albert
> Museum, the Museum of London, the Museum of Science and Industry, the
> Wallace Collection, and national museums and galleries in the devolved
> regions.=20
> 2. The universal access policy already provides free entry for children and
> pensioners to the main national museums and galleries, and this was to have
> been extended in September 2001 with the "Quids In" scheme, allowing =A31
> entry for adults.
> 3. Organisations whose activities are undertaken for no charge are not
> considered 'in business' for VAT purposes, and any VAT they incur in
> relation to these activities cannot therefore be recovered. For many
> national museums and galleries, VAT therefore creates an incentive for them
> to charge for admissions, so that they can recover the VAT they incur on th=
> e
> things that they buy.
> 4. Under the new scheme announced today, all those main national museums an=
> d
> galleries that allow free admissions will be refunded the VAT they incur on
> their purchases. The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) is
> confident this will mean that all the national museums and galleries it
> sponsors will move to free entry.
> 5. Museums policy is devolved, but this new VAT scheme applies across the
> UK, so museums in the devolved countries can also reclaim VAT without
> charging for entry.
> 6. The scheme will be introduced by legislation in the upcoming Finance
> Bill, with a list of eligible museums and galleries to be drawn up in
> parallel. The refunds will apply to all non-charging main national museums
> and galleries, at a cost of around =A315 million per year, and will come in=
> to
> effect no later than September 2001. However, eligible museums and gallerie=
> s
> which do not currently charge will be able to recover the VAT they incur
> from 1 April 2001. Customs will shortly be writing to these bodies and thei=

> sponsor departments to set out the details of the scheme.

> "Electronic Outreach: Museum Programming on the Web"
> Offered June 18-23 through the Cultural Resource Management Program at the
> University of Victoria
>
> The Web provides an exciting dimension in which museums are interacting with
> new audiences and presenting engaging programs unencumbered by physical
> space and time. While the development of online programs builds on many of
> the core principles of more conventional exhibitions and public programming,
> it also requires an understanding of online media, their potential and
> limitations, and their implications for information sharing, interpretation
> and interactions.
>
> This course draws on contemporary research and emerging practice in online
> programming, and encourages you to consider creative ways to program on the
> Web as you develop your ability to:
>
> * understand the Web as an educational medium
> * appreciate the programming potential of a range of Web media tools
> including digital video and QuickTime VR, along with technical
> considerations relating to bandwidth, software, and hardware
> * define ways in which your museum can incorporate Web-based programming
> within its educational mission
> * move beyond posting information to more interactive teaching and learning
> strategies that * enable visitors to connect with objects and collections,
> create meaning, contribute content, and share experience
> * identify and serve existing and potential on-line audiences including
> peoples of varied age, background, learning styles, and special needs
> * recognize effective approaches to Web site architecture, copy, design,
> typography, color, multi-media tools, and navigation
> * develop engaging content
> * develop and manage dynamic team-based and collaborative approaches
> * plan, market, implement, and evaluate on-line programs
>
