🏵️Buchanan Street, this is Glasgow's famous shopping street, very lively. Recommend the Prince's Square here, its history can be traced back to 1841, the interior decoration is full of British style, the combination of old and new is perfect, especially the staircase in picture 8️⃣ is its highlight. There is also a small but very popular tea room that is easy to miss—Willow Tea Rooms (picture 9️⃣). The interior decoration, furniture and tableware are all designed by architect Mackintosh.

Most of the buildings can be traced back to the 15th century, the majestic and dark interior of the Gothic architecture, has a solemn sense unique to the Middle Ages.

🏵️The Necropolis (picture 14) is behind the cathedral, spread up a green hill, there are many gorgeous Victorian tombs, the surrounding scenery is as beautiful as a British oil painting.
Great visit at the GOMA in Glasgow Scotland. The famous statue outside often has a street cone on the riders head :)
The Glasgow Museum of Modern Art does not look big, and the whole building is an obvious European architectural style. A tall statue of a knight at the door is said to have been wearing a mask during the epidemic.
The exciting place in Glasgow is his ubiquitous cultural palace. The old empire, the big city of Scotland, the cultural relics are everywhere.
这里是各式各样的旅游攻略里到格拉斯哥必须来的地方,建筑的古希腊风格立柱在丁字路口显得十分的显眼,可能因为快圣诞的关系,通往后面商业区的两侧道理则拉起了灯光,晚上好似星河一般美丽。里面的画作和西区的美术馆相比更加的现代派一点,倒是门口的雕像一直被带着雪糕帽子显得十分的滑稽。
走进现代艺术馆,不大的几个展厅松松散散摆放着一些代表现代艺术的作品,非常抽象,非常离奇,非常怪异,但这些又似乎都是现代艺术必不可少的元素。我们在莫名其妙的参观中走过几个展厅,每个展品都是另类,每个展品又都没有给我们留下多少印象。说起来还是我们不具备欣赏现代艺术的素质。来这里参观的游客很多,而且大多数都是年轻人,也许他们在这里才能找到需要的灵感。在这里也见到不少中国的学生,看起来他们与我们相似,对这些西方的抽象艺术不太感兴趣。在现代艺术馆的底楼还有一座图书馆,来这里借阅、读书和上网的人都不少。最让人眼馋的是图书馆书架旁开辟出大面积的区域摆放着沙发,为借阅的人或是查资料的人提供了良好的阅读环境。
This museum is mostly empty , with a few good works of art mixed in with a bunch of rubbish. Boring letters in cases and amateurish artwork that looks like it was painted by a 5 year old.
格拉斯哥,一个现代和古典融合的没用边界的城市。而且,这里的人还充满了幽默感,格拉斯哥现代艺术馆前威灵顿公爵的塑像被人恶作剧的放上了交通路锥。对,就是那个走了狗屎运,在滑铁卢打败拿破仑的家伙。
