Frontage, NRM
Frontage, NRM The 'new' frontage' of the NRM at York is a familiar sight to many visitors. This entrance replaced the older entrance that was the other side to Leeman Road with the two parts of the museum now linked by a pedestrian tunnel. Whilst the museum remains free it has recently undergone a funding crisis where the reintroduction of an entry fee was proposed with even complete closure actively discussed by the Science Museum Group who operate the museum. Thankfully, the funding crisis was avoided with the intervention of the Tory chancellor George Osborne who withdrew his plans to cut the group's funding by ten per cent (an estimated real-terms 25%) as part of the Tory Government's austerity agenda.
