Henry Blake on County Lines; museums and galleries post Covid; re-reading Jane Austen's Emma

As museums and galleries in tiers one and two prepare to reopen on Wednesday, we consider what the future might look like for these much loved institutions.

To explore these questions, Kirsty is joined by Jenny Waldman, Director of Art Fund, an organisation currently working to assist organisations in innovating to meet the challenges COVID 19 presents, and museum and gallery designer Dinah Casson, whose new book Closed on Mondays: Behind the Scenes at the Museum is released tomorrow.Screenwriter and director Henry Blake talks about his forthcoming film, County Lines.
