Creative type from museum is getting endless local credit (8)
I believe the answer is:
artistic
'creative' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'type from museum is getting endless local credit' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'is' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for artistic that I've seen before include "Creative; ornamental" , "Aesthetically pleasing" , "Fine-looking" , "Showing creative skill" , "(Musical) work" .)
