What the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum collection covers
Kelvingrove opened for Glasgow's International Exhibition in 1901 and became the city's civic art gallery and museum in 1902. Its collections bring French Impressionism and Scottish painting together with design, natural history and Ancient Egypt. History
A painted Edinburgh drawing room and a gesso panel made for Glasgow tearooms offer two different ways into its art and design. The collection also holds sculpture, antiquities and decorative arts.
Its collection strengths include French Impressionism, Scottish Colourists, Glasgow Style and Charles Rennie Mackintosh, and Ancient Egyptian objects.
