Kelvingrove Art Gallery and MuseumGlasgow'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 old masters such as 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.
