Smaller UK museums are significantly underfunded, with philanthropist Frederic Jousset highlighting that this disparity hinders access to arts for British schoolchildren. Jousset's initiative, Art Explora, is funding trips for 100,000 students to various museums, aiming to address this gap. A report indicates that while the UK's cultural budget has been cut by 6% since 2010, France has increased its spending by 25%. Jousset's initiative seeks to demystify museum experiences, especially for students from deprived areas, as many teachers have reported not taking classes on museum trips recently.
