Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum, Glasgow
Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum, Argyle Street, Glasgow, G3 8AG, Strathclyde, Scotland
'One of the greatest civic collections in Europe' - Neil MacGregor, Director of The National Gallery, London
One of the finest civic collections in Europe is housed within this Glasgow landmark. Here you can explore collections that include everything from fine and decorative arts to archaeology and the natural world. The number of individual items in the natural history department alone is vast. You can admire Sir Roger the Elephant or wonder at 300-million-year-old fossils of marine life from the Glasgow area.
The re-designed Kelvingrove creates a more accessible and visitor friendly attraction, with better and larger shops, café and toilet facilities. There will be more objects on display than ever before within our 19 major galleries and a wide range of educational and learning facilities for all age groups.
The intention is to create a 21st Century Museum in Glasgow’s favourite Edwardian building and build an exciting future on a proud past.
