Kelvingrove is a very special museum. For generations of people from Glasgow and the surrounding neighbourhoods, it has a deep, personal significance linked with every stage of their lives. Visits to 'the art galleries' are highlights of childhood memories; many people did their courting there; parenthood and grandparenthood see the cycle begin again.

Visitors develop favourites, which, like old friends, they drop in to see whenever they get a chance. And although everyone thinks their cherished local institution is special, the sense of Kelvingrove's uniqueness is backed up by facts - it is the largest civic museum and art gallery in the UK, with collections of international importance.

 

Kelvingrove's annual total of one million visits made it in absolute terms the most-visited museum in Scotland, and the sixth most-visited museum in Britain.

Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is located in picturesque Kelvin Park in the popular West End of the city.
