Archaeologists and curators leaving UK over Brexit fears

Visa uncertainty and expected loss of EU funding affecting culture industry, leaders say

A no-deal Brexit would cause severe disruption across the UK's culture, science and design sectors, industry leaders have said.

The expected loss of EU funding and uncertainty over the status of EU nationals after March 2019 meant UK museums were already losing scientists, researchers and curators, and there was a shortage of archaeologists, they said.
