Museums, libraries and archives

From upcycled exhibitions to changing travel behaviour to historic sites, these six projects demonstrate outstanding environmentally-driven initiatives from the past year.

National Lottery Open Week is running from Saturday 15 to Sunday 23 March 2025, with hundreds of heritage venues getting involved.

The first round of Archives Revealed grants has given a total of £675,000 to 13 projects, stretching from Edinburgh to Belfast and Rotherham to Brighton.

We’re proud to sponsor the sustainability prize at the Museums + Heritage awards, celebrating outstanding projects and exhibitions that are addressing the climate crisis.

This is one of our biggest investments into archives this century, made possible by National Lottery players.
