DCMS has released the latest visitor numbers for those museums and galleries for which it has responsibility. Of particular note are the numbers for January-March 2025 which include the reopening of the NSMM on 8 January 2025. For comparative purposes the same quarterly period has been extracted on the graph above. The graph also reflects the museum's closure during the pandemic in 2021 and during the redevelopment work following its closure from June 2023. The numbers in 2024 shows cinema attendances which remained open during much of the main msueum closure.
The first three months following the museum's reopening saw visitor numbers following reopening of : 16,797 (January), 32,608 (February) and 15,000 (March). The opening of the Sound and Vision galleries in July is likely to lead to an increase in visitors.
