Harriet Harman replaced Ivan Lewis as shadow culture secretary in last month’s Labour Party reshuffle.
Dan Jarvis, MP for Barnsley Central, has been appointed shadow culture minister.
Harman continues as deputy leader and party chair, as well as taking the role as shadow secretary of state for culture, media and sport.
Lewis, who spent just 12 months covering culture, has moved to the Department for International Development.
The move came after Lewis faced media criticism for proposing a licensing scheme for the press. His office declined to comment on why he had been removed from the post.
A poll on the Museums Association website found that 60% of readers believed Harman would make a good shadow culture secretary.
