No. There was a profit of over £40,000 from the International Exhibition. The Association for the Encouragement of Arts and Music in the City of Glasgow added to this by public subscription, increasing the total to over £120,000. The Town Council then took over the completion of the building when the Association ran out of funds. The total cost was over £250,000.
