museum, has survived an onslaught of visitors during its first 24
hours online. However, the launch has not been entirely without problems.

The Campaign for Museums is chaired by Loyd Grossman, best-known
as host of a TV cookery show. At the launch he promised that the
museum would expand and contain "more and better information" every
day. In fact, he said, it will "swiftly become the one-stop shop
for news and information for the public."
The 24 Hour Museum has received a start-up grant from the UK
Government of £70,000 ($112,000) and will get up to £55,000
($88,000) this year for maintenance. It plans to link to 300 galleries
and Web sites and carry information about all of the UK's 2,000 museums and
art galleries.
