Number of visitors to government funded museums in England 2019-2023, by museum

Published by Statista Research Department, Mar 15, 2024

Attendance at museums sponsored by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) in England rose significantly in 2022/2023 compared to the previous year. Despite the sharp increase, the number of visitors remained below the figures recorded before the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Between April 2022 and March 2023, the Tate Gallery Group reported the highest attendance among the DCMS-sponsored museums in England, with just under six million visitors.
