One day in Glasgow (for history buffs or those needing a culture fix)

Hello friends |

Two of my favourite museums I've encountered anywhere were inwards Glasgow.  If natural or human history appeal to y'all , or you're a fan of fine art or foreign curiosities , you're certain to dearest exploring The Hunterian Museum together with Kelvingrove Art Gallery together with Museum.  They both accept a weird together with wonderful collection of objects - manmade , beast , world-famous artworks together with an array of interesting specimens.  Both situated past times the picturesque Kelvingrove Park together with surrounded past times cafes together with restaurants , you're certain to accept a wonderful 24-hour interval here.




Spend the earliest move of the morn walking through Kelvingrove Park , looking through the herbaceous garden together with , inwards summertime , the flowering bluebells.   From hither , caput to the Hunterian Museum together with Gallery for the morn past times next signs to Glasgow University. 

It tin flaming live on tempting to pass the whole 24-hour interval inwards the Hunterian , but y'all tin flaming easily stick to ane or ii areas that tickle your fancy.  The medical specimens inwards the primary room are a highlight if you’re non also prissy , together with there’s a large collection of wonderful instruments together with objects inwards the room to the right.

After dejeuner , walk dorsum through Kelvingrove Park to the Kelvingrove Museum & Art Gallery.  Must-sees include: Dali’s Christ , Roger the Elephant , the Irish Gaelic Elk skeleton together with the room dedicated to Charles Rennie MacKintosh together with his wife.  Take simply about fourth dimension to marvel at the architecture , which lends itself to the fantastic collection housed inwards the galleries.  In the 1940’s , many objects were destroyed past times bombings that affected the expanse , but (thankfully) the edifice wasn’t also affected.
