[can-talk] purpose built museums/galleries in heritage precincts developed by local government

Hello all,

 

I am looking for examples of purpose built galleries and museums in
redevelopments of significant heritage precincts for mixed commercial
use by local governments. I am interested in finding out about
Australian examples, but also international. 

 

The Town of Claremont is in the process of planning for redevelopment of
a significant heritage precinct around the Claremont Railway Station
(built 1886). Claremont Museum would like to see a purpose built
museum/gallery/cultural centre incorporated into this planning, as well
as interpretation of the history of the site throughout the precinct. I
am doing some preliminary research into models for such developments -
and would appreciate any examples of purpose built museums and galleries
included in redevelopments of heritage precincts by local government. 

 

Any examples - inspired and what to avoid - would be gratefully
received! 

 

Many thanks,

 

Kate
