Daily Dose of Museums -- Part 1














views from the top of the Glasgow Necropolis














Glasgow has many amazing museums, all of which are free or suggested donation entrance, making it easy to visit often. So far, besides the afore-mentioned GOMA, we've been to a museum a day (our daily limit though Liam would go to 100 a day!).


















Starting with the Kelvingrove Art Museum, which was having an AC/DC exhibit. Malcolm and Angus Young were from Scotland, then their family immigrated to Australia where they formed the GREATEST rock band ever as the exhibit clearly illustrated!



Gotta love the crude humor on the ticket!











The blue sky behind the museum is kind of a rare sight in rainy Glasgow.










Then, to the St Mungo Museum of Religious Art and Life, which had amazing cross-cultural and religious artifacts and artwork.







































Loved the juxtaposition of religions -- St Joan and Buddha side by side!

  1. Very cool - who gets to pick the museum?

    Love the blue sky picture; hope you didn't miss out on too much of the sun.

  2. @Kate, At this point we go the museum closest to where we happen to be that day -- so mostly Liam choosing.
