Loved this museum.

Great museum in a beautiful building just west of the city Centre. Lots to see. From paintings, to modern art, to dinasaurs, to a real airplaine. Great for kids too.

free and art and history combined!

Nice way to spend the day. Lots to see. From modern art to history and animals. It's nice all museums in Glasgow are free. And on the opposite there is Trix put up, also fun to combine!

Eclectic & wonderful

What an experience! Incredible works of art, an organ recital & an exhibition about identity of indigenous people from around the work were my highlights. Highly recommend visiting.

What a wonderful building inside and out, full with vastly varied exhibits. Something for all to see. Lunch was very good in the restaurant which was extremely busy with lots of children who were on school holiday. Found it strange that opening time was 11am...More

A great museum with loads of different things to see. It was nice to see Dippy. The staff taking photos with the frames made a good souvenir. The variety of artwork was mind blowing. A beautiful Monet and a Picasso were my favourite. The kids...More

Very good museum

This is an excellent museum for both adults and children. We went principally as Dippy was on tour but there is a lot to see here. The museum itself is free and is a long, if not excessive walk from the city centre and the...More

Hi everyone! Me and my friend have a full one and half days to spend in Glasgow next week and wanted to do some of the main things that we MUST do. So far we have planned the botanic garden, kelvingrove art gallery, river kelvin. We wanted to visit one of the parks perhaps strathclyde country park or pollock country park. We really want to go Loch Lomond. Does anyone have any suggestions if we could make it more worthwhile and if we’ve picked some of the main attractions? Any suggestions are welcome :) We’ve also read you have fried mars bars?!!!!! Thank you for your help
