The Burrell museum and art gallery in Glasgow will reopen after an estimated £66 million refurbishment, of a building that wasn't that old in the first place. Part of the cost, £15 million was paid by the lottery fund, of form of tax and punters money which could have been better used. The Glasgow council has agreed to meet 50% of the total cost, no doubt from money saved form closing community centres and shaving social services. Then this society always does showcase and grandstand the pillage and plunder acquired by very ruthless rich people.
The collection is a mixture of art works and artefacts plundered from all over the world, including Jewish arts stolen by the Nazis and sold on to rich parasites like Burrell.
There is to be a grand opening ceremony on the 29th of March where the pampered and privileged will rub shoulders for some photo opportunity, all eager to be part of this display of pillage and plunder. Nothing there will relate to the people of Glasgow, nothing there will tell the world about the lives of the people who, without being asked, helped pay for this display of plunder.
Lots of citizens of this fair city of Glasgow see this for what it is, and are angry that this grotesque display costing million is being trumpeted as great for Glasgow, while they struggle for decent services from transport to health, from education to leisure. So on the 29th of March there will be a demonstration against this lavish extravagance of pomp and privilege. So if you are struggling in your daily life, then turn up at the Burrell on the 29th and voice your disgust and righteous anger.
