The Museums and Galleries Month, that took place across the UK from 1 May until 31 May, has been hailed as a success.
Posters and leaflets were distributed across the UK to railway stations, supermarkets, service stations, libraries and tourist information centres.
Ylva French, executive director, said: “On the whole, this event was received with more enthusiasm than ever before – both by the public and the museums and galleries taking part.”
“The involvement of Eurostar as a sponsor also enabled us to reach a lot of people we would not necessarily have reached otherwise.”
Special posters were also sent to all nursery, primary and secondary schools in England and a range of seminars were organised for teachers.
