National Gallery, the Box in Plymouth and the Fitzwilliam in Cambridge also shortlisted for £120,000 Art Fund prize

The V&A East Storehouse, the National Gallery and an accessible castle in Norwich are among the contenders for this year’s Art Fund museum of the year award, the most prestigious UK prize in the sector.

The annual prize offers the winner £120,000, with £20,000 going to each of the other finalists, who the Art Fund’s director, Jenny Waldman, said had all “innovated in different ways”.

Leica Camera has announced that its brand new Leica Store in Chicago will open its doors on April 30. Alongside the retail presence, the new Leica location in Chicago will also feature a beautiful gallery, reflecting Leica's continued commitment to the art and culture of photography. To mark the occasion, Leica will also launch a very limited special edition M11-P that celebrates Chicago's rich artistic history.
