I’m not sure I believe this finding - my children are never so bright and engaged as when they are discussing what we see in a museum. Not everything is about exams. One school trip might not have a direct impact, living a culture-inspired life will.

This is important in the context our our climate change targets. The

@hmtreasury
is serious about climate change this should change.
“reusing old buildings provides immediate results in the fight against

, while a relatively energy efficient new building won’t pay climate dividends for decades.”
