Devizes is a lot lower and it being named as one of the top 30 museums in the UK doesn't make it visited enough to qualify for dosh.
Aye, sad though it is I can see the logic in that. Better make sure though that any money earned at Stonehenge from the Devizes Museum collection is channelled back to Devizes. I wouldn't trust the buggers (the powers that be) one iota; they're likely to cream off the best of the Devizes collection and, when visitors to the Museum drop even further (as presumably they will), they'll have the perfect excuse to scale the Museum down even further (or close it completely).
As I said above, I don't know what the politics are here but I'd hang on to the ace card (the collection) as long as possible and play that one (transfer of part of the collection) only after the best possible deal's been done.
