People's Palace
Landmark
Open Details
The People’s Palace and the adjacent Winter Garden are a museum and a greenhouse. They were opened in 1898 by Count Rosebery. At that time, this area was considered to be very unfavorable, and the People’s Palace was designed to improve the general environment, as well as to provide residents with a new cultural center.
The architecture of this palace deserves special attention. It is made in classic style with some elements of Baroque. Initially, there were reading rooms and lounges on the first floor of the building, a museum on the second, and an art gallery on the third. But in the 40s of the 20th century, the palace became a museum of history.

Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum
Art Gallery
Open Details
The building in the Spanish Baroque style was built in 1901 from the traditional Glasgow architecture of red sandstone. The opening of the gallery was held in preparation for the International Exhibition in Glasgow. The basis of the Kelvingrove art collection was a collection of paintings, which was transferred to the museum from the McLellan Gallery.
There is a city legend that the building was built backwards, and the architect jumped off one of the towers when he saw that the facades were intertwined. However, this is just a myth.
