And if you wanted to become enlightened ?

Hello!

I’m here today to talk about two museums I visited when I arrived in Glasgow, the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum and the Riverside museum. Both are incredible and you absolutely need to go there !

The Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum

I was hearing a lot of things about it due to the building’s façade which is gorgeous.
This museum is one of the most important in Scotland.

It contains a large variety of Europe’s art collections distributes on three floors. But the thing that I loved the most was the monument itself, it was really impressive!

It is a nice place to go when the sun is shining because you can just appreciate the beauty of the place and have a break in the garden in front of the building where there are some benches. 

And if it’s raining, you’ll be sheltered in the museum and you can take a coffee inside to warm you up. 

Besides, the entrance is free so you have no excuse to not come here!

This museum is recent, it opened its doors in 2011 and received the Price of the European museum of year 2013 by the European Forum of the Museum.

You can find here some of the world’s finest cars, bicycles, ship models, trams and locomotives. It’s pretty remarkable. 

Behind the museum, you can visit a boat and admire the kitchen, the bunks, a little lounge…anyway you can come in all the rooms of the boat and that is very playful!

In my opinion, it is just the outside of the building that I do not like too much, it is very modern in contrast to the Kelvingrove museum which is more authentic and I prefer this kind of architecture. 

But you surely have to go there! (this one is also free :) )

I’m going to visit another museum next week in the centre of the city which seems awesome, I’ll do another post about it!
