We need a new museum space, and a new contemporary-art museum (the NMC will be a very nice addition to the city, but it doesn't really address these two needs). Every self-respecting city has those two things, and we have a half-assed version of one, and nothing even close to the other. Never mind world-class, we're barely even steerage class.
As a tax-payer, I'd much rather pay towards a new Glenbow than for a hockey arena.

Maybe it's just me, but the one building in Calgary that I stare at and think it should be a rad museum, whether a replacement for the glenbow or a contemporary art museum, is the old brewery in Inglewood. Beautiful grounds, historic, and as far as I know just sitting there as a storage place or something.
