Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum

Glasgow's principal art gallery and museum, the Kelvingrove is one of Scotland's most popular free attractions. This imposing red sandstone building, opened in 1901, houses a superb collection of paintings by, among others, Botticelli, Rembrandt, Monet, Van Gogh and Picasso as well as an impressive display of European armour, military weapons and prehistoric relics. The main attraction is a room dedicated to the works of the 19th-century architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh who studied at the Glasgow School of Art and designed many of the city's great Art Nouveau buildings.
