Such a shame about the possible closure, and I suspect we will see more of these over the next few years given the cumulative effects of austerity, Covid, recessions and the cost of living crisis. 

I understand quite a high proportion of the Arts Council's National Portfolio Organisations are at risk of closure - and certainly where I live in Scotland, there is an absolute funding crisis for the arts. I'm wondering whether there's a way of monitoring this more actively and trying to ensure better photographic documentation of these spaces? I will pick this up with the Programmes team. In the meantime, it would obviously be great if any local Wikimedians would be able to visit the Museum of Cannock. Thanks for flagging this up Geni.
