And my final question: how are audiences involved in the production of temporary exhibitions?

Charging for exhibitions: Evidence session with cultural bodies, representative bodies and museum experts
Thank you. One argument may be that charging for access to temporary exhibitions goes against that spirit of free entry, so I'd like your thoughts on that. But have you had any—? Have any of you experienced any really negative feedback on charging for…

Charging for exhibitions: Evidence session with cultural bodies, representative bodies and museum experts
Thank you, and, Chair, if I can move on to the impact of charging on visitor experiences, do you believe that the negative impact outweighs the positive impact of charging for exhibitions or visitor experiences of any kind in your places, or do you believe…

Charging for exhibitions: Evidence session with cultural bodies, representative bodies and museum experts
Thank you very much. I think it was at the beginning that Rhodri from the national library said that people can now donate via contactless payment. I'm just wondering what difference that has made, because I know, when it comes to Conservative Party things…

Charging for exhibitions: Evidence session with cultural bodies, representative bodies and museum experts
Thank you. It's clear from what you've all said that education outreach and creating that awareness is vitally important to get people through the doors. You've said that previous exhibitions in the museum have used the variable charging scheme, so basically…

Charging for exhibitions: Evidence session with cultural bodies, representative bodies and museum experts
Thank you, Chair. If I may, Chair, I'll just follow on from what has just been said. I accept the fact that you've all said that you work on a premise of a mixed model of self-generating income, but how do you, following on from what's just been said, balance…

Charging for exhibitions: Evidence session with cultural bodies, representative bodies and museum experts
Thank you very much, Chair. I just wanted to follow up from that, because it is important obviously that we get these people back into the museum and that they have a great experience, which everyone I have spoken to has done, obviously. But have you done any…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care
A great question from my colleague across the floor, actually—I'm glad you've asked that. I'd like to ask you a more general one, Cabinet Secretary, if that's okay. There can obviously be no one-size-fits-all approach to monitoring and aiding health boards. I…

Statement by the Cabinet Secretary for Culture and Social Justice: Culture and Social Justice—Reaffirmation of our values
Thank you for your statement, Cabinet Secretary, albeit a very non-committal one. I have to admit I found the statement rather interesting because you mentioned culture, yet we have the Welsh National Opera's future literally hanging in the balance, and I…

Questions to the First Minister
As my colleague has already said, we now see Welsh businesses facing the highest business rates in Britain. You are certainly not the party for small businesses. These businesses, especially in our region, have been crying out for help, and what constituents…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Culture and Social Justice
Thank you, Cabinet Secretary. Well, it's good to hear that, but, of course, we need more than words—we need urgent action now with all that is at risk, which we have both outlined today. Without our arts and culture, we are nothing as a nation; without our…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Culture and Social Justice
Diolch, Llywydd. You'll, of course, be aware of the nearly 10,000-strong petition now to protect the WNO, and so I just wanted to ask you what recent discussions you have had with the UK Government regarding the Welsh National Opera. Can you today ease the…
