The Springburn Museum was at Ayr Street in the old library between 1986-2001.
With apologies for the poor quality, below are some press cuttings from 1991-2001 which are very critical of the closure, with the blame laid firmly on the shoulders of the Glasgow Council of the day, who were not prepared to find the money to keep it open.

First, they destroyed the houses and shops. Then they moved everyone out so there there was hardly anyone left to protest. Then by pulling the money from the museum, firing the staff they succeeded in wiping out any reference to the history of the area. I suspect that this contempt for Springburn (barring the gorbals) is unprecedented in Scottish social history in terms of the sheer breadth of the destruction.

However, as I learned while driving along Gourlay Street in August 2006,
only to be greeted by a bulldozer wrecking my old house in real time
right in front of my eyes, the blunt truth is they just don't care.
