Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is home to one of Europe’s finest civic collections. It recently re-opened after major a restoration programme to provide a visitor attraction for the 21st century. There are 22 themed galleries with plenty of interactive exhibits. Expect to find works by celebrated Scottish architect and designer, Charles Rennie Mackintosh. The iconic painting of ‘Christ of St John of the Cross’ by Salvador Dali is once more on show at Kelvingrove. Best of all, admission to the permanent exhibits is free.
