The Victoria and Albert Museum’s Dundee satellite may be relocated under proposals designed to ensure the building stays within its £45m budget.
The museum would still be on the river Tay, but a spokesman said: “I would stress that it will be right on the shoreline, as opposed to extending into the water.”
Philip Long, director of the V&A at Dundee, said the ship-like design of the building, by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, would not alter.
The plans have to be approved by Design Dundee, the partnership charged with delivering the project by 2015.
A new planning application would need to be submitted to Dundee City Council. The Scottish government, meanwhile, has awarded £3m to the project for the period 2013-14, as part of total funding of £18.3m.
