Become a Family MemberAbsolutely amazing place, especially when they have activities on for the kids during the holidays! Highly recommend going for a visit. You have to phone or email to book a place. Staff are so knowledgeable and friendly. My little one loves going here to the see the 'treasures' during the activity sessions. Best of all it was free!!!
The tour provides an insight into the part collections of the Glasgow museums that are in storage. You will get to see a few random items but if you have a special interest in an item they will try to accommodate you. You must book in advance.
Come for the handsome Highland cow outside and stay for the art! A hidden gem in Glasgow. You can see stored museum collections up close including sculptures and artefacts not on display elsewhere.
Fascinating museum. Lots to see. Friendly staff. Very knowledgeable and accommodating even though I was 10 minutes late. Worth a visit.
Absolute treat. Visited on an hour long tour. Saw various pods with items in. Armour. Vehicles. Egyptian items. World Culture, etc. Fascinating and the guide is very knowledgeable. Specialist tours are available throughout the year. And you can book and request to see certain items. A hidden Glasgow gem.
