The sale of the Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) is one of the options being considered by Glasgow City Council as it looks to meet funding cuts

A landmark Glasgow attraction could be sold off as part of budget cuts.

Glasgow City Council has identified the possibility of selling the building that houses the Gallery of Modern Art, (GoMA) and moving its collection elsewhere.

The authority is examining a range of measures as it looks to meet major funding cuts.

An options paper for meeting the cuts mentions “re-provisioning of services at St Mungo’s Museum of Religious Life and Art, Provand’s Lordship and GoMA” to save £538,000.

It states moving the collection could involve “rationalising within the Lighthouse” or “relocate Modern Art to Kelvinhall”.

The gallery was the seventh most visited tourist attraction in Scotland in 2018 with more than 630,000 visitors.

A spokeswoman for Glasgow City Council said: “Glasgow City Council will need to make budget savings which could be in the region of £50 million.

“The cross-party budget working group asked officers for savings options.

“All parties have received the same information and they will present their budgets at a meeting on 20 February.”
