According to an October 2024 study, roughly three out of 10 non-national museums in England generated under 25,000 British pounds in revenue in the 2023/2024 fiscal year. When focusing on micro-museums, namely those institutions with less than 10,000 visitors a year, nearly half of the sample reported earning less than 25,000 British pounds.

Supplementary notes
The source defined the museum categories based on the following visitor size bands, based on pre-pandemic visitor numbers: micro museums (less than 10,000 visitors), small/medium museums (10,000 to 50,000 visitors), large/largest museums (more than 50,000 visitors).
Percentage points exceeding 100 percent are probably due to rounding.
