University of California Berkeley scraps museum plans
The University of California Berkeley in the US has scrapped its US$143m plans for a new museum.
The plans to build a new home for its Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive were designed by Tokyo-based architect Toyo Ito, but the university has not been able to raise the funds.
The school only managed to raise about US$81m of the US$200m target and blamed the economic downturn.
However, the university is expected to reveal new plans in January, which could include revamping the existing site.
