Clore Learning Spaces

The Clore Duffield Foundation has funded more than 65 museum, gallery, heritage and performing arts learning spaces across the UK since 2000.  These range from £2.5m Clore Learning Centres in national museums, to donations of less than £50,000 to fund small Clore Studios within local authority museums.

The Foundation is currently focused on supporting existing Clore Learning Spaces and is making very few new donations.
