£1.6m government initiative aims to bring art to communities everywhere.
The British architecture studio Ab Rogers Design has won the international design to build a new permanent mobile museum, which will take artworks from the Government Art Collection on tour around the UK.
The tour begins in a pre-existing mobile museum across the South West then the North West of England, this summer.
From 2027, the non-profit arts organisation Art Explora will tour the new mobile museum with three 12-week exhibitions each year.
