It makes sense to me that any museum should ideally be housed with an existing art gallery.
There are already staff there, as well as it being a secure place to house exhibits, and is already insured.
Plus the benefits of having parking, and other facilities like a cafe.
I know Cllr. Wendy Dwyer is very keen that the Haworth is more well used, than it is at present.
I'm sure if there was a museum there it would only add to it's appeal.
