Doors set to open at museum late 2026
Paisley Daily Express
|July 01, 2025
Major project hit by delays
Paisley Museum is now scheduled to reopen its doors in the second half of 2026, Renfrewshire Council has confirmed.
The transformation of the museum - the first major refurbishment in the building's 150-year history - continues to progress, with construction expected to be completed by the end of the year - five months later than previously stated.
The installation period to fit out the museum with artefacts and displays will take several more months, meaning the site will not now officially open until the later half of next year.
The museum was initially scheduled to open in 2024 with a construction cost of £45million.
However a number of unforseen problems with the building has caused several delays and costs to soar.
