Kelvingrove

On Tuesday we met John and Margaret at  Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, built in a Spanish Baroque style opening in 1901. It was remodelled in 2006 with the Life galleries representing natural history, human history and prehistory and the Expression galleries, which include the fine art collections. The 22 galleries display over 8,000 objects. The centrepiece of the Centre Hall is a concert pipe organ from 1901 with a walnut case front and non-functional display pipes. There is a recital on the organ at 1 pm every day. The last two images are of the Subway system - a great asset when visiting Glasgow.
