Kelvingrove Art Gallery And Museum

This gallery and museum, which underwent a £28 million refurbishment and reopened in 2006, houses 8,000 works of art, including a range of European paintings covering the 15th to the 17th centuries and the 1890s to the 1960s, as well as arms, armour, archaeology and natural history displays. There is also a collection of Egyptian treasures, a gallery dedicated to Charles Rennie Mackintosh and a Spitfire LA198 from the Glasgow Squadron. The permanent Glasgow 1900 exhibition features paintings, furniture and decorative art objects dating from turn-of-the-century Glasgow. Don't miss Salvador Dali's Christ of St John of the Cross, an affecting vision of the crucifixion painted as if from above.
