Glasgow Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is an impressive red sandstone building located within minutes walk of the Argyll hotel in the west end of Glasgow. The Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum first opened in 1901 and in 2003 Glasgow City Council embarked on a three year, £27.9 million restoration project to return Kelvingrove's magnificent Victorian interior to its original splendour. The museum re-opened to an enthusiastic public in July 2006.
There are now over 8,000 objects in the increased exhibition space including a fully restored Spitfire LA198 602 (City of Glasgow) Squadron.
