What to see in Glasgow?

Fourth by the number of inhabitants in the whole of Great Britain, Glasgow began its history 14 centuries ago and for a long life has accumulated many legends and sights. Unlike other European cities, Glasgow's attractions are not limited to the city center, but are distributed to all its outskirts. And although because of this time for their inspection significantly increases, but they themselves are so interesting that the game is worth the candle. But first things first:

1. Museums of Glasgow are known not only in the expanses of Britain, but also far beyond its borders. The Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum has such a rich collection of historical and artistic exhibits that it will take more than a week to inspect them. The museum building was built in the very beginning of the 20th century from the traditional red sandstone place. In the halls of the gallery you can see the works of the greatest masters of all time: Picasso and Dali, Titian and Botticelli, Rubens and Rembrandt. Young guests of the museum are waiting for interactive exhibits, collections of armor and weapons, skeletons of prehistoric animals.
2. The Museum of Barella , the opening of which was held three decades ago, pleases art lovers with the richest collection of works by French masters. Under the roof of this museum, the canvases of Degas and Cezanne, Delacroix and Sisley, Gericault and Manet were found.
3. Not far from the museum of Barella, everyone can see Pollock House , which is the hereditary home of the Scottish clan Maxwell.
4. A ten minute walk from Glasgow Central Station is the Gallery of Contemporary Art , which collects the results of creative searches for our contemporaries. For the entrance to the gallery, as in all the other museums in Glasgow, you do not have to pay.
5. A lot of admiring the pictures, there is nothing better than to relax in the shadow of trees in one of the city parks, and there are about 70 of them! The most notable of the Glasgow Parks is Glasgow-Green , whose history dates back to the 15th century. The territory of the park is now an arena for historical battles, then a playground for the competition of the best Scottish bagpipers.
6. Cognitive will be a walk along the Botanical Gardens of Glasgow , where the rarest representatives of the kingdom of Flora are gathered.
