George Wyllie Art Gallery Opening in Greenock

Lodged by Stuart McMillan (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 18 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the opening of a new museum and art gallery in Greenock that is dedicated to artist George Wyllie; understands that the facility, named The Wyllieum, is dedicated to Wyllie’s work, including his 80ft-long (25m) The Paper Boat, which was launched on the Clyde over three decades ago to highlight the loss of industry in the west of Scotland; notes that Wyllie, although born in Glasgow, lived and worked in Inverclyde for many years; recognises that the museum forms part of the new £20 million cruise ship visitors' centre at Greenock Ocean Terminal; believes that this addition to Inverclyde’s tourist offering will provide a positive boost to the local area, and wishes all those involved in The Wyllieum all the best for its launch, as it opens to the public from 26 April 2024.
