Built in the Spanish Baroque style, Kelvingrove was built in the Glaswegian tradition of using Locharbriggs red sandstone, and includes architectural sculpture by George Frampton, William Shirreffs, Francis Derwent Wood.
The museum was built on the banks of the River Kelvin is adjacent to Kelvingrove Park and is close to the campus of the University of Glasgow on Gilmorehill.
The museum located on Argyle Street, in the West End of the city is one of Scotland's most popular free visitor attraction. Kelvingrove was reopened by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on 11 July 2006 after a three-year closure for major refurbishment and restoration.
