The former Perth City Hall building will host the Stone of Destiny in the hopes of attracting more visitors to the city
A major milestone on the £27.2 million Perth Museum project has been reached with the construction phase now complete.Perth and Kinross councillors were given an update on both Perth Museum and the £150 million Cross Tay Link Road project this week.
PKC’s head of culture and community services Fiona Robertson said: “The construction phase of the museum is complete. The project in total isn’t complete. We’re now into the exhibition fit-out stage and the commissioning of the building. “But the construction phase is complete and was completed within budget. We’re now doing some final work to the exterior fabric of the building over the next few months but apart from that it’s finished.”
He said: “I think the economic impact not just of the museum - as there have been changes to Perth Art Gallery - has got huge economic benefits for Perth and Kinross, local residents and businesses as a whole.”
