Glasgow's McLellan Galleries
are appropriately named after the builder Archibald McLellan who died
in 1856. The building is now used as an exhibition space after being
bought by Glasgow City Corporation. After being destroyed by fire the Galleries were re-opened in 1990 after a £3 million refurbishment making them one of the largest, high quality, air conditioned temporary exhibition space outside London. The McLellan Galleries now host exhibitions from trade shows to model railway exhibitions, however at the moment the gallery is hosting the Art Treasures of Kelvingrove while the Kelvingrove Art gallery is closed for refurbishment. Free admissions mean that this is one attraction in Glasgow that you should not miss. With exhibitions changing on a regular basis and which have included everything from Raphael paintings to an epilogue from someone who travelled round the world on a pushbike you can be sure of something interesting to add to your day out in Glasgow. Facilities included within are free guided tours, gallery shop and toilet facilities. There is also a small café and there is access available for wheelchair users. A Costa Coffee Cart has recently been introduced selling a range of coffee's, cakes and baguettes. The McLellan Galleries are located on one of Glasgow's busiest streets making them easy to find and accessible by bus, underground or even by foot. |
