Art Gallery and Museums in Glasgow
Inspired by Charles Renie Mackintosh designs. In 1901, Glasgow’s most famous architect, Charles Rennie Mackintosh entered a competition to design a ‘House for an Art Lover’. The competition was set by a German design magazine which sought entries to design ‘a grand house in a thoroughly modern style’, and challenged architects to develop ideas which were fresh and innovative. Mackintosh worked on his submission together with his new wife, Margaret Macdonald, a decorative artist. The result was a portfolio of outstanding designs,which have since been admired by Mackintosh enthusiasts throughout the world. Situated in a beautiful parkland setting and adjacent to magnificent Victorian walled gardens, House for an Art Lover is truly a unique venue.
Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, Glasgow's favourite building, reopened in 2006 following a £35 million restoration project. Kelvingrove boasts an unbelievable variety of objects to marvel including Dali`s iconic Christ of St John of the Cross, fearsome weapons and stunning suits of armour, a 4 meter ceratosaur and an immaculately restored spitfire - a must visit for all to Glasgow.
A guaranteed fun day out for the whole family especially the kids - a huge collection of cars, buses, trams, and trains, with a trip down memory lane for the older generation: a reconstucted glasgow street from 1938 with the local flavour continued in the Clyde Room with models of famous vessels built on the River Clyde.
