Part of Herald has exclusive access to details regarding the revamp of the Paisley Museum.

How could the museum's display of the Glasgow Airport mural affect AGS Airports?

Possible What happens if… A possibility worth considering, not a forecast.

The museum's cultural revamp may boost AGS Airports' reputation. The display of The Golden City mural, which was originally commissioned by Glasgow Airport, is part of a £68.7 million overhaul of the Paisley Museum. This museum is a flagship project central to the cultural regeneration of Paisley, a town that is actively working to redefine its image and attract visitors. The museum is expected to welcome over 127,000 visitors annually, four times the number recorded before its closure. This positive cultural momentum, tied to an asset commissioned by Glasgow Airport, could enhance the public perception and reputation of AGS Airports, the owner of the airport.
