Review & FAQ:

The Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is located in Glasgow near the university campus. It has grown to become one of Scotland's most popular attractions since it reopened after its refurbishment in 2006. There are over 9,000 objects in its collection, including the "Christ of Saint John of the Cross" by Salvador Dali, Vincent Van Gogh's "Portrait of the Art Dealer Alexander Reid," and "A Man in Armour" by Rembrandt.

The building itself is a work of art that was designed by E.J. Milner Allen and Sir John W. Simpson in the 1900s; visitors can appreciate the Spanish Baroque style and the use of the Locharbriggs red sandstone. Entrance to the Kelvingrove museum and gallery is free to visitors.
