Taking A Cultural Tour Of Glasgow
When visiting Glasgow, what better place to start than the city centre
, and the Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) in Royal Exchange Square. The GoMA is the second most visited contemporary art gallery in the UK and houses an appealing combination of old and new architecture.The Provands Lordship is another building, again in the city centre, that it is worth finding the time to visit. Dating back to the 1400s, this is the oldest building in the whole of Glasgow, and the beautiful medicinal garden at the back of it is an ideal spot to sit and relax for half an hour.
Now that you have seen the City Centre, you should head out to the west end of the city. For those of you who enjoy a good walk, take the Kelvin Way to the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, home to Salvador Dali's painting Christ of St John of the Cross.
In the west end of the city, you will find the Glasgow Museum of Transport, which is a real treat for mechanical and engineering enthusiasts, but everyone will find it interesting. It houses the finest collection of Scottish-built cars in the world, along with various examples of public transport and bicycles from the past hundred years.
The south side of Glasgow is home to 'House For An Art Lover', which is the design for a house that was submitted to a competition by Scottish art prodigy Charles Rennie MacIntosh in 1901, and was eventually built in 1996. It has been inspiration for many contemporary artists, and is definitely worth visiting whilst in the city.
