The Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum was designed by Sir John W. Simpson and E.J. Milner Allen and opened in 1901. It houses one of Europe's greatest civic art collections.

The gallery's internationally significant collections are extensive and wide-ranging, covering natural history, arms and armour, art from many art movements and periods of history - there are over 8,000 exhibits on display. A feature of the collection is the painting Christ of Saint John of the Cross by Salvador Dalí.
