On another of our adventures, we visited Glasgow's wonderful Kelvingrove museum, which has just had a £28 million refurbishment. Bev remembers this museum from her childhood when her grandfather and parents used to take her there at the weekends, and she had lots of fun looking round at all the familiar (and not so familiar) exhibits. Her favourite painting, the Christ of St John on the Cross by Salvador Dali hangs in this museum.
We also visited the Macintosh House for an Art Lover in Bellahouston Park, the Kibble Palace in the Botanic Gardens, the People's Palace on Glasgow Green and the Tenement House museum in Glasgow. All were very interesting though the exhibitions at the People's Palace were a bit disappointing and the lunch in the adjacent Winter Palace was seriously disappointing (dirty table, average food and a very scary waitress). Despite that, the overall impression of Glasgow's museums was excellent!
