The Loom Gallery was officially opened last month with the unveiling of a plaque dedicated to Ellen Farmer.
The MBE was founder of the Paisley Development Association, Old Paisley Society and a driving force behind Sma’ Shot cottages and the Thread Mill Museum.
Councillor Jim Harte, convener of Renfrewshire Council’s sport, leisure and cultural policy board, said: “Ellen Farmer was a remarkable woman who had Paisley in her heart. She worked tirelessly to educate and inspire local people and visitors about the rich heritage of the town of Paisley. “It is therefore very fitting we honour and recognise Ellen’s work by installing a plaque in her memory in the new Loom gallery at Paisley Museum.”
