It is Official - Broadfield House Glass Museum to close next month
chopin-liszt:
There is always a vast amount of stuff in storage in every other Museum.
I have frequently asked to see certain things I know museums have, and they're *always* in storage.
I have managed, though making personal appointments, sometimes managed to see a few items. Normally several appointments are needed to see enough, because they'll only bring a limited number of things out.
Perth Museum brought out 18 pieces at a time, the V&A in London only let us see one piece.
I've been waiting about 9 years to see an Alison Kinnaird piece, here in Dundee.
Unfortunately, I suspect all councillors are more likely to value cash over art, heritage or history. They wouldn't be councillors otherwise.
aa:
Substantial funding for the new museum is coming from Europe.
This wasn't easy to achieve and all those involved in the application process should be congratulated.
I note that the councillor who made this remark about selling off the council's art treasures belongs to a party whose main agenda is to oppose EU membership.
Is there a connection? Probably.
Should we be worried? Probably not.
....the oxygen of publicity...
keith:
I'm not going to comment on the 'party' for whom this councillor stands as I know the boards policy but........need I say more ? ::)
flyboy:
I totally agree that the BGF have done an amazing job in securing the ERDF grant, but as the council have reneged twice over the Broadfield House issue.
1) Broadfield House Glass Museum will not close.
2) Broadfield House Glass Museum will not close until White House is ready.
