It would be interesting to know the reason for the rejection. Whilst there was criticism of the size of the sum bid for, presumably the size of the application was within allowed limits.
Not wanting to sound paranoid but an "international attraction" and a "world class museum" in the provinces might not have sat well with some of the London centrics who still tend to make up the bulk of those sitting on boards meant to give cash to deserving causes THROUGHOUT the UK.
Sorry, I've seen it too often before.
