Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum

The Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is located on Argyle Street, in the West End of the city Glasgow,  Scotland.  The gallery was opened in 1901 as a Palace of Fine Arts for the Glasgow International Exhibition held in the year.

There is a popular myth in Glasgow, that the building was accidentally built back-to-front,  but the grand entrance was always intended to face into Kelvingrove Park.
