Glasgow Life has launched an online marketing drive to promote its membership scheme, which entitles donors to "everything Glasgow Museums has to offer" including city-run exhibitions. The price of an annual, individual membership is £28 while £44 also permits the entry of a guest and a family pass is priced £50. Glasgow is one of few cities in the world where entry to the majority of its museums and galleries is free. Ricky Bell, depute leader of Glasgow City Council, previously warned of worse times to come and said the local authority could not continue to "salami-slice" services. Councillor Bell said Glasgow was the only city that contributes significantly to the country's cultural offering but receives no Scottish government funding.
