The Holburne Museum is in contention for the 2012 Art Fund Prize. The prize is worth £100,000 for the museum of the year.

It has been long-listed for the final ten, and the Holburne has asked that supporters recommend it at http://www.artfundprize.org.uk/2012/yoursay/.  The closing date for submissions is 22nd April, with the results due in June.

Last year our own Roman Baths were beaten into second place by the British Museum, their impressive refit unable to compete with the ‘History of the World’ project in London.
