Thousands of art treasures and antiquities hidden away in museum and gallery vaults for decades are soon to be made available for the first time. Some, including works held by the British Museum, have never been seen by the public. Among the initiatives are the display of thousands of objects in a "national collection centre" in disused aircraft hangars near Swindon, Wiltshire, extra money for greater schools access to museums and galleries, and curators being encouraged to put the hidden parts of their collections on display.
