Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum

Glasgow

Kelvingrove is one of Scotland's most popular free attractions and has welcomed visitors since 1901. Its 22 galleries cover subjects from art and animals to Ancient Egypt and Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Restoration work began in September 2025, with some areas scaffolded, but the museum remains open.
