The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Scotland’s oldest public museum on receiving a £249,000 grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund; understands that The Hunterian at the University of Glasgow will now be able to carry out a scoping project that will shape the future of its museum and art gallery; further understands that The Hunterian museum has been open to the public since 1870, while the art gallery was constructed between 1973 and 1981; believes that the funding will now allow The Hunterian to identify what is required to revitalise its ageing buildings, which are significant parts of Glasgow’s heritage; understands that the museum will now look to safeguard its important collections and serve the needs of the community as part of a project entitled "Unlocking the Potential of The Hunterian: The Changing Museum", and acknowledges that the museum will work with communities to give them a central role in shaping the future of The Hunterian, creating spaces where people can think critically and come together to both challenge and find common ground.
