Glasgow

Yesterday we spent the day in Glasgow.
We had a quick look at the museum of transport. We've been 6 years ago, it is a relly nice museum, and we spent half a day there. This time we've just been to see our favourite bit.

Then, we crossed the road to Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. It has been recently refurbished. We've been 6 years ago as well. It is really worth a visit.




Diane, this picture is for you, this cushion looks familiar....;0)

They now have a room dedicated to Charles Rennie Mackintosh (I love his work and Art Nouveau in general). It is a bit narrow so it was difficult to take pictures.


Finally, we went to the Hunterian museum and Art gallery. It was founded 200 years ago by Dr William Hunter, physician, scientific researcher and collector.




We didn't spend a lot of time there (it is a shame, it is really worth a visit. we will come back!) as what I really wanted to see was the Mackintosh house. I couldn't take pictures but there is a virtual tour on the website.

I guess I should stop squashing that cushion and allowing Andrea to plait it's tassels!! I mean if it's going to be in a museum sometime in the future!!
