The People's Palace museum on Glasgow Green (pictured below, courtesy Wikipedia), which has been closed since April 2024, will not be opening anytime soon according to Glasgow Life. The arms length council body, which runs Glasgow's cultural attractions, had initially hoped to re-open it by 2027, but now finds itself in a situation of escalating costs for its revamp.
Quite why the Scottish Government won't contribute to the refurbishment of one of Scotland's most important museums is beyond me - I'm sure if it was in Edinburgh they would be singing a different tune.
