The UK's Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has published visitor numbers for its sponsored museums. The Association of Leading Visitor Attractions (ALVA) has also done the same. Of particular interest are those for the National Science and Media Museum, Bradford. Other photography venues such as the V&A Museum do not report individual gallery visitor numbers, and other venues report numbers in annual reports, or to sponsoring bodies such as Arts Council England.
NSMM:
| Year | DCMS | ALVA |
| 2019 | 439916 | 439916 |
| 2020 | 110092 | 110092 |
| 2021 | 95361 | 95,179 |
| 2022 | 177847 | 177,847 |
| 2023 | 93546 | 93,545 |
The NSMM closed in June 2023 with an expected re-opening date of late 2024, ready for 2025's Bradford Year of Culture.
ALVA has published visitor numbers back to 2006 and BPH has reported historical numbers in the past.
