Museum Visits...

We took advantage of the free entrance to visit two museums during our visit to Glasgow, the first being the Gallery of Modern Art.
The museum only dates back to 1996, but the building is much older being built in 1778 for a tobacco tycoon. 
These were my two favorite pieces: a quilt...
…and a digital print called Photography is dead, long live painting by David Hockney.
Later we went to the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, a purpose-built museum that opened in 1901. 
I loved the building, but must admit that I found that the mixed nature of the rooms housing the vast collection seemed quite haphazard.
