Whether a sculpture by a hometown favorite or a private collection painting by a well-known big-wig, art gives you a glimpse into the soul of a place, and the folks that call it home. Go high-brow, low-brow and everything in-between at the art museums and galleries of Glasgow. Just don't touch the paintings.
Located in various buildings of The University of Glasgow, The Hunterian Museum andArt Gallery is Scotland's oldest public museum. It opened in 1807 and is composed of four different collections: The Hunterian Museum (featuring items from Roman Scotland, Ancient Egypt and more), The Zoology Museum, The Hunterian Gallery (featuring watercolours by Charles Rennie Mackintosh) and the Mackintosh House (the former home of the aforementioned Scottish architect).
The Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) is the most visited modern art gallery in Scotland. It opened is 1996 and is housed in a neoclassical building which it shares with the city centre library. The building once served as the Royal Exchange, a centre for business and commercial exchange where information and goods were traded.

The Library at GoMA, houses a café, free internet access terminals, and an extensive collection of art and design books alongside its general books for loan.
