Description
Glasgow's Art Gallery and Museum, an imposing red sandstoned building, first opened in 1901.
In 2003 Glasgow City Council embarked on a three year, £27.9 million restoration project to return Kelvingrove's magnificent Victorian interior to its original splendour. The museum re-opened to an enthusiastic public in July 2006.
The increased exhibition space now accommodates over 8,000 objects including several new exhibits such as the fully restored Spitfire LA198 602 (City of Glasgow) Squadron.
Kelvingrove also houses a superb collection of paintings by (among others) Botticelli, Rembrandt, Monet, Van Gogh & Picasso.
Please note that after an absence of several years (during which it was displayed at the St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art) Salvador Dali's world renowned painting Christ of St John of the Cross makes a welcome return to the first floor of the West Gallery.

A great shot from an interesting angle.
excellent shot!
Excellent capture!
Its funny, the further north you travel the buildings get more imposing and full of grandeur, starting in Lancashire and upwards from there. I think it must be the building materials such as granite etc, and you capture this grandeur very well in your pictures.
