Scots museum misses out on £100k prize by a long nose
THE Concorde Experience at the Museum of Flight has failed to make the shortlist for the Gulbenkian Prize, the prestigious £100,000 museum award.
The museum, at East Fortune, East Lothian, was the only Scottish contender for the UK's biggest arts prize.
Four English museums appeared on the final shortlist of four, announced yesterday.
They include Isambard Kingdom Brunel's ship, SS Great Britain, preserved in a 11.3 million project in Bristol.
Also listed was the Collection, a 12.5 million museum of fine art and ancient artefacts in Lincoln; the Hunterian Museum, London, for a 3.1 million renovation of its medical history collection; and an underground gallery at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Wakefield.
The 2004 Gulbenkian Prize was won by Charles Jencks's Landform, at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art.
