I would have liked an explanatory live guide or a video to enjoy this more. There is an old kitchen, an old bathroom, a parlor, and a bedroom. Paying lodgers used the bedroom and clever beds were squeezed into the parlor and the kitchen for the two residents, a surviving daughter( of 3) and her widowed mum.

This is such an interesting and quirky tourist attraction. Not the biggest or most time consuming, it consists of 4 rooms and will take you about 45 minutes, but definitely worth a visit. Like a time capsule to a bygone age, I loved finding out about Miss Towards life. The 4 rooms are so well preserved and really gave you a feel for the place. From ringing the doorbell to go in, to the smell of gas, everything has an authentic feel. George, the guide on duty when we were there was so knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. I especially loved the plum jam story and Mrs Towards wedding dress (in the gift shop) which she'd made herself.

My husband and I were in Glasgow for just a day and kicked off our visit with a look around the Tenement House. We had visited a similar type of museum in Sofia, Bulgaria that I very much enjoyed so I was looking forward to this museum. It's small, but interesting to see a slice of life from the days gone by of Glasgow. Seeing everyday items on display made it feel more authentic. The gift shop had some really nice items, too.
