City of London to help fund Crossrail art exhibitions

A plan to create permanent art exhibitions in Crossrail's central London stations has come a step closer after the City of London Corporation agreed to put £3.5m towards the scheme. Terry Morgan, chairman of the £14.8bn Crossrail scheme, said: "This programme will enhance London's reputation as one of the world's great cultural capitals." "Businesses will have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to associate their brand with an iconic piece of London infrastructure and some of the world's most famed galleries and artists," Crossrail said in a statement. Mark Boleat, policy chairman at the City of London Corporation, said the project would create "a lasting legacy" for London, which needed "World class infrastructure to succeed on the global stage".
