The Kelvingrove and the Hunterian: Big Hits at Glasgow's Top Museums
| 2007-12-14 Donna Dailey One year after it reopened following a major renovation, the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum ranks among the top five most-visited museums in the UK. Its dazzling exhibition about pop queen Kylie Minogue sums up the spirit of the new Kelvingrove. Bringing the UK's largest civic museum and art gallery into the 21st century was no simple matter. It took three years and £27.9 million, but when Glasgow's Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum finally re-opened its doors last year it shot to the top of the charts as Scotland's most visited attraction. What's more, it is now among the five most popular museums in the country (the others are in London).
