Bloody lousy weather again, got to visit somewhere indoors. We in Glasgow are very lucky as we have several art galleries and museums, all free, The Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Musem reopened in 2006 after a £35 million restoration project and had 2 million visitors in the first year.

We visited the Burrell museum. Sir William Burrell left his collection of 9.000 items to the City of Glasgow in 1944, all Glasgow had to do was build the museum and they did that in 1983.

The building.
