May 2025I had a truly wonderful experience visiting the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum! 🏛️✨ The architecture of the building is absolutely stunning 😍, and the collections inside are rich, diverse, and beautifully curated 🎨🦖🖼️. Every room tells a different story, and there’s something for everyone — from art lovers to history buffs! As an Egyptian 🇪🇬, I was especially drawn to the Ancient Egypt section 🐫🔺. Seeing artifacts from my homeland filled me with pride ❤️ — the history of Egypt is one of the greatest in the world 🌍. But I also felt sadness knowing that many of these treasures were taken during the British occupation of Egypt 🕰️⚔️. These pieces are part of our national identity and belong in their rightful home. Still, I truly appreciate the way the museum presents them with respect and care 🙏. It’s a place full of knowledge, emotion, and inspiration 💡❤️. I highly recommend visiting Kelvingrove to anyone visiting Glasgow or living nearby — it’s a cultural gem 💎📍. Thank you to the museum team for preserving and sharing these stories with the world! 👏🌟 Rating: 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must-visit! ✅ Fun for all ages! 👨👩👧👦 Art, history, and heart in one place! 🖌️🕰️❤️

May 2025What a beautiful building. Lots of interesting things to look at, paintings, artifacts, models, stained glass windows. Good place to while away a couple of hours. Staff members we're all very knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming. Nice little cafe bit to chill in and watch the world go by. Kids were entertained in each area. Tip top.

April 2025Kelvingrove absolutely amazed me. The building itself is stunning, and inside, the mix of art, history, and natural exhibits kept me hooked for hours. I was especially drawn to Dalí’s Christ of Saint John of the Cross—it’s even more powerful in person. The museum is well laid out and surprisingly family-friendly, with interactive displays that make it fun and engaging. After exploring, I grabbed a bite at the café inside—it was a perfect way to wind down. A must-visit spot if you're in Glasgow!

June 2025I love the architecture, the colours and the best part: free entrance so everyone can enjoy the art while learning and reading interesting things about the paintings and painters, the stuffed animals are very interesting to observe and fascinating, big hall with lots of animals on display. I would totally recommend this museum, you can easily spend half a day here if you are an enthusiastic
