Breakfast TV Backdrop Museum

[Hysteresis]

There is a concrete Museum monstrosity on the backdrop of BBC Breakfast TV. I realise the backdrop is a studio generated image, but that monstrosity of a building must exist somewhere. There is a name on the building but it is difficult to read. The name starts with 'Imperial **** Museum ****'. I thought is would be the Imperial War Museum in London or a Branch of it, but I can't find any images that remotely look like this absolute monstrocity.
Anybody any ideas as to what it is. It may not even exist and in my view it shouldn't exist other than a memorial to the misuse of Concrete.

Thanks so Much, That is the very building to which I referred. Do You agree that is it a concrete monstrocity? or maybe I am just anti concrete?

It may look a monstrosity today, but in years to come you may feel different. In the 50's 60's and possibly into the 70's they built concrete buildings everywhere, they referred to the architecture as "brutalist". A lot of people have grown to love them.

The Tricorn centre in Portsmouth won loads of architectural awards when it was built.
Taken from Wikipedia….

“The centre was a well-known example of 1960s architecture, and in the 1980s it was voted the 3rd ugliest building in the UK.[2] In 2001, BBC Radio 4 listeners voted it the most hated building in the UK, and Charles, Prince of Wales described it as "a mildewed lump of elephant droppings",[3] although it was much admired by others, who saw it as an irreplaceable example of Brutalist architecture. Demolition of the Tricorn began on 24 March 2004. “
