- Birmingham Big City Culture – City of Culture Bid 2013
There’s an official website for the bid. I’m always the last to know about this kind of thing - £1.285million National Heritage Memorial Fund grant saves the Staffordshire Hoard
“The grant, awarded to Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery (BMAG) and Potteries Museum and Art Gallery (PMAG) in Stoke-on-Trent, will fill the funding gap to reach the Hoard’s purchase price of £3.285million and means this outstanding collection will remain in the West Midlands close to where it was discovered in July last year” - Sir Michael Lyons to head up Tindal Street board
He’s chairman of the BBC Trust, dontchaknow
