Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum houses one of Europe’s great art collections. It is the most popular free-to-enter visitor attraction in Scotland and the most visited museum in the United Kingdom outside London.
With 22 themed state-of-the-art galleries displaying an astonishing 8,000 objects, there's so much to explore and the museum is a brilliant place to easily wile away several hours, if not longer!
The impressive building, a Spanish Baroque-style palace constructed of Dumfriesshire red sandstone, opened as an art gallery in 1901. It was reopened in July 2006 after a three-year, £28 million major refurbishment and restoration project.

Kelvingrove was accidentally built back to front and, when it was complete, the architect was so disappointed he jumped to his death from one of the building's towers. Kelvingrove from the South East Argyle Street Entrance
