Summarised from Glasgow Live's report · Updated 5 Nov, 18:21 · Archive

Glasgow's People's Palace museum is set for a £50m upgrade starting late 2027, pending further funding.

Glasgow City Council has agreed to progress design work for a £50m revamp of the People's Palace museum and winter gardens, with construction expected to begin late 2027. Over £50m is required for the upgrade; Glasgow City Council has committed almost £21m while the Scottish Government is providing £14m. More than £12m still needs to be raised.

The council is awaiting news from a National Lottery heritage fund application and is 'hopeful' of closing the remaining £9.15m funding gap in the coming weeks. If secured, the project would be 94% funded. Councillor Ruairi Kelly said the significant funding commitments from the Scottish Government and council have made the scheme 'a much more achievable picture'.
