Sad news to report from Staffordshire. The Potteries Museum and Art Gallery in Stoke-on-Trent are making drastic cuts in an effort to save money. The council run museum will be sacking 19 members of staff, including their curators, in an effort to save £560,000 between 2022-23. This nationally important collection, due to Stoke's glorious heritage in the design and production of ceramics, will replace its curators with one new position described as 'curator - contemporary collecting'. The museum will also reduce its open hours to five days a week.
A petition to save the museum from cuts has already received over 15,000 signatures.
