Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum celebrates its 125th anniversary this year. Opened with the 1901 International Exhibition and funded with profits from the 1888 international exhibition, Glasgow’s connections to colonialism played a key role in both exhibitions. Empire has played a key role in Kelvingrove’s foundation and history. This tour, led by Nelson Cummins, Senior Curator will explore this history in the present day Kelvingrove through a tour of some of the current galleries and displays.
