Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is reputed to be one of the finest civic
collections in Europe, and is located within a popular landmark in the West
End of Glasgow. In 1998 the Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery was voted
Glasgow's most popular building. Kelvingrove Museum has collections that range
from fine and decorative arts to the natural world and archaeology, from
300-million-year-old fossils to displays of local marine life, as well as a
vast natural history department. One of the finest collections of arms and
armour in the world is to be found here, rivalled only by the Royal Armouries
and the Wallace Collection in London.
Kelvingrove Art Gallery has been recently renovated over a period of three years and at an expense of around £30 million. The building is located on Argyle Street, and is very close to the University of Glasgow, Byres Road, Ashton Lane, and Kelvingrove Park.
Spacious and cozy large beds. Breakfast was fantastic, better than I've had at 5 star hotels. Staff very helpful & friendly. There is also free use of computer and coffee/tea facilities at reception, as well as a library of information leaflets about area.
