The Polar Museum in Cambridge is in the running for the Art Fund Prize 2011, the UK’s largest arts prize. It is among ten museums to be long listed for the prestigious £100,000 award, including The British Museum, the V&A and the Roman Baths Museum.
Supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Polar Museum at SPRI is close to completing its £1.75 million redevelopment. The galleries were opened on 8 June 2010 by TRH The Earl and Countess of Wessex.
