Obstacles that stop young people visiting galleries and museums in bigger numbers must be torn down if Britain’s major arts institutions are to remain central to culture, according to Nick Cullinan, director of London’s National Portrait Gallery (NPG).
“I don’t think the young have a problem with culture, but they are often falsely made to feel it is not for them,” said Cullinan, on the opening weekend of a “gamechanging” art exhibition that showcases black painters and black subjects on a grand scale.
