last sunday, ck visited the kelvingrove art gallery and museum in Glasgow. This museum constructed in 1901, it is the most visited museum in the Scotland, and 6th in the UK. Admission is free. This building divided into 3 floor--LG, G & 1. LG is exhibition by some corporate,cafe,conference hall, etc. Art gallery and museum are located in G & 1. Each level also seprated to east and west blocks. Art galleries located at east block, and there are many paints from italy, france, holland, scotland and so on. some paints have more than few hundred yr history. Museum located at west block: ancient egypt culture, fossils, world cultural, etc.
some thing that drawn my attention was steam engine invented by James Watt, and he is a scottish, previously served at gla. uni as well.
Besides, i loved to see sword, armour, etc exhibited here.
We spent about 2.30h in this museum, and next time we plan to visit another museum in glasgow--museum of transport.
