Visitor figures

[edit]

TheDepartment for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) publishes monthly visitor figures for the public sector museums and galleries which it sponsors, which include most of the leading museums in London.

The most popular London museum in the private sector isThe Sherlock Holmes Museum.

The DCMS totals for the financial year to 31 March 2008 were as follows:[36]

NOTE: Tate Modern and Tate Britain are on separate sites two miles apart, but the DCMS only publishes a single combined visitor figure for them. Tate Modern is widely reported to attract the more visitors of the two, but it is not clear whether it received more visitors than theBritish Museum on its own.

The majority of government-funded museums stopped charging admission fees in 2001[37] and, although this was challenged in 2007,[38] this has remained the case. Following the removal of admission charges, attendances at London museums increased, with a large percentage of the 42 million annual visitors nationwide.[39]
