What a gem of a gallery in beautiful surroundings !! The building’s architecture itself is wondrous, and we spent around two hours there before moving on to the equally impressive Glasgow University (10-15 minute walk though “squirrel” park), but one could easily spend a whole day there. There are scluptures, life-sized characters and animals, hundreds of paintings ranging from local Scottish painters to impressionists, cubists and every other ist !! There are Picassos, Guagin, Cezanne, Matisse, Van Gogh, Vermeer, Rodins and many, many others. There is also a very extensive history of Scotland through the ages with numerous examples of tartans, armour and weaponry, and clothing worn. There are also plentiful audio and visual accompaniments to embellish the experience. There are plentiful buses (Argyll Street), or a 30 minute walk from the city. Optional if the weather is fine to stroll across Kelvingrove Park and marvel at the friendliness of the multitudes of grey squirrels, before taking in the sumptuous architecture of Glasgow University.

Amazing building with fantastic art. I would recommend the Scottish room but there is something for everyone. Highly recommended. Afterwards take the ten minute stroll to the University of Glasgow main building for a great double bill.

This museum is fab and kept my two children entertained for a few hours. It has a great selection of things to see and learn about including animals, the history or Scotland and artwork. At 1pm there was an organ recital in the main hall where we timed it just right as we sat and had coffee and cake and watched the performance. The children loved it and we could have spent a bit longer there if time had allowed. Plenty of parking available too. A great find.

Great art and a fabulous setting - the building is very grand. Varied selection with enough "big names" to keep the interest levels up. Great selection of Scottish art also (both painting and the inevitable Charles Rennie Mackintosh). A must see when in Glasgow for sure.

Breathtaking, wonderful exhibits, a must of a visit. The cafe is surprisingly good priced and very nice. The only downer was the sour face serving at the cafe at the entrance. Needs to try and smile. And the young school groups, they are mostly not interested and they are screaming and having a free for all running daft.

Utterly fantastic museum and gallery - and it's free entry! (Although donations encouraged). Art, science, concepts, fashion, etc etc. A brilliantly presented eclectic mix. A bit of a trek on foot from town, but follow Sauchiehall Street westwards and you will come across it about half an hour later. Worthwhile. Extremely worthwhile.

I've always loved going to the Art Galleries, you can pop in when you have an hour to kill, and get lost in time, just gazing at the different arts around this stunning building, I'll never get bored of seeing all the floating faces, or the dinosaurs, if your lurking around at 1pm, you will be lucky enough to hear the organ getting played!! The Salvador Dalí is a stunning piece of art, it stands in a room, alone, where you can sit, and just stare at the beauty of big JC on the cross. If you visit Glasgow, you must visit this museum. As a weegie, I've loved coming here for the past 44yrs!!!

Beautiful building, gallery hast lots of amazing paintings and art pieces. Machintosh, Picasso, Monet, Van Gogh, Glasgow boys and other artists. There is organ concert at 13 ( check times) and join a free tour.

This is a very special gallery & museum. The collection is huge, eclectic, ranging from natural history, armour to Scottish and European art. It has a room dedicated to the Glasgow School of early 20th century artists and furniture designers. The buiding is spectacular too and worth a visit in its own right. The Central Hall - see picture, is inspiring in itself. This is a half-day must-see in Glasgow.

I really wanted to love this museum however the lack of proper lighting made it a struggle to enjoy. I realize the high ceilings are a challenge but ….. This is a massive collection, hodgepodge of items from natural history to fine art. It was easy to navigate and had some unusual items. The organ recital was impressive and a bit eery when traversing the galleries. The restaurant is overpriced and mediocre, something to skip. A rainy day place to visit and free as are most of the national museums.
