Kay Oliver reports on the fears for the future of our national heritage after restructuring at the V and A museum partly to make it more cost effective, with curators made redundant; and what could happen now. Santina Levy, ex-curator, talks about losing her job and the new Director Elizabeth Esteve-Coll; ex-curator John Mallet on the compensation money-says it could have been put to better use.
