Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum

This museum is a place where people have to punch in. I especially like the oil paintings in the museum. After seeing it, I feel a great enjoyment. The museum is also a favorite place for primary and secondary school students.

The Kevin Grove Museum of Art, located opposite the main campus of the University of Glasgow, adopts Spanish Baroque. The style of the Victorian red sandstone building is its distinctive feature. The museum contains world-class art works such as Salvador Dali's representative work "Christ of John the Cross".

lovely day exploring the museum it is a good gem in the heart of Glasgow next to the university

Wherever I go, as long as time permits, I will definitely visit the local museum. Because it allows you to understand the local customs and historical heritage most directly. Kelvingrove Art Gallery, located near the main building of Glasgow University, is a Gothic building with particularly dazzling red brick walls. Free to visit, with ample parking spaces. The museum is large in area and has a wide variety of collections, from animal fossils in ancient times to modern paintings and sculptures. It is a museum that exhibits multi-element art. Among them, Asian elements, Chinese antiques, world-famous paintings and sculptures are all on display. What impressed me most were Van Gogh's self-portrait, the tortoise-shell fan fracture fan and embroidery pieces of the Chinese Qing Dynasty royal family, China's blue and white ancient porcelain, silverware left by the Vikings, animal fossils in ancient times, and cultural relics reflecting different periods in Glasgow, etc.

Day 5 of 20: Walk from Glasgow University to The Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum This is one of Scotland's most popular free tourist attractions and the third most visited British museum outside of London. The Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum was partly funded by the proceeds of the 1888 World Exhibition held in Kelvingrove Park. The architects were John William Simpson and Milner Allen, and it opened in 1901. It is built in the Spanish Baroque style and adheres to the Glaswegian tradition of using local red sandstone. It has one of the best collections of arms and armor in the world, as well as a large natural history collection. The art collection includes many excellent European works of art, including works by Old Masters, French Impressionists, Dutch Renaissance, Scottish Colorists, and the Glasgow School. The museum houses Salvador Dali's masterpiece "Christ of Saint John of the Cross" (Figure 4). The director bought the copyright of this painting when he met Dali. Between 2003 and 2006, the painting was moved to the St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art.

We left the hotel and walked to the Kevin Grove Art Museum in the west of the city. The journey was long and under the scorching sun, so it was quite tiring. We arrived at the museum at 16:10, and there were only 50 minutes before closing. We immediately took the time to visit this museum with rich exhibits, but we didn't know much about the tour context. Because we were short of time and didn't know the focus of the tour, we ran around the museum like a headless fly, and we only saw a rough idea. Fifteen minutes before closing, the staff began to clear the venue, and we were the last group of tourists to leave. Later, when I compared the introduction of the museum, I found that there were still many important exhibits that I hadn't seen. To be fair, it takes at least half a day to visit this museum, so we can only be regarded as a visit.

A friend recommended this place with great enthusiasm. Her original words were: If you come to Glasgow and don't go to the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, then you haven't been there. Well, we really don't have time to visit it. Even though I haven't really been to Glasgow, I have fallen in love with this city.
