National Gallery

Ten other protesters, who took part in JSO demonstrations on M25 gantries, occupied tunnels under the road leading to the Navigator Oil Terminal in Thurrock in Essex and threw soup on Van Gogh's Sunflowers in the National Gallery in London, had their sentences upheld.

The money announced on Thursday includes a pot worth £120m, which will be available to 17 major institutions such as the British Museum, National Gallery and National Museums Liverpool, which all get their regular annual funding from the DCMS.

A Monet masterpiece from the National Gallery is to be exhibited in four galleries around England.

Councillor Rob Pritchard said: "It is a great honour to be part of this prestigious partnership with the National Gallery, offering residents and visitors to Hull a chance to see such a significant piece of artwork up close."

National Gallery Director Sir Gabriele Finaldi said more than a million people had attended previous Masterpiece exhibitions.
