So a more a realistic esrtimate would be say 16 and 25 years. This is nonsense. Surely the better appricah is construct new buildings and to restore the existing premises as a museum. No costs are given but surely we talking about £2billion a year so, say £50 billion. This would also provide long term flood protection. News buildings would be a fantastic project for British Achitects and Contractors.
