<em style="font-size: 0.8rem;">A new museum at Perth City Hall will be called Perth Museum after 60% of people in a public consultation picked "the obvious choice."

Perth Museum beat other suggestions including The Sparkling Museum of Perth and the Victoria Drummond Museum.</p>

A spokesperson for the museum said the name had been a clear favourite and "encapsulates the stories and history of the building."What happened to the days of Museum McMuseum-face suggestions and the like? Perth Museum: the Ronseal of museums.

The VD Museum would have been a good call.
At least it's got a clearly different name than the existing Perth Museum and Art Gallery.

For those of you that don't know (I'm guessing 99.9% of folk on here). The City Hall saga has been ongoing for 20 years since the concert hall was built.

It really should have been demolished to clear the space for a larger open space. It's a bloody hideous building, but it's listed and so it couldn't just be flattened.

Should probably have a name which better reflects it's purpose, which is to house the Stone of Destiny/Scone.

I’ve got a suspicion us in Falkirk here could rival that saga if things continue as they have so far with our Council HQ / town hall / arts centre farce.

Just what Perth needs, another museum, every time I head back it seems just a little more run down, the council and local councillors were legendary for stopping anything remotely decent happening, then when it was too lol are letting every crap venture through.

Museum McMuseumface is surely now the traditional choice?

Sparkling Museum is quite good, since it's not from the region of Musee

A museum called "Gift Shop and Exit" would confuse the fk out of people.
