The Birmingham Museums Trust has put out a tender for a Masterplanner to oversee a new flagship museum.
According to the article above:
A partnership is being developed between BMT, the Science Museum Group and Birmingham City Council for the new museum with a working title of The Birmingham Project.
The original plan was to create a new museum of science and industry, however, BMT said it recognised the potential to expand this vision to show more of its collections encompassing natural history, the city of Birmingham, world cultures, archaeology, fine art and decorative art.
Suggestions submitted thus far include placing a temporary museum in one of the large empty stores of the city's shopping district.
We'll look forward to seeing what this might mean for the city's Museum and Art Gallery, which houses one of the finest collections in the Midlands.
