About This Museum

Did you know Kelvin Hall was once a bustling tramway depot? Today, this Glasgow giant is a treasure trove for the curious. You can lose an entire afternoon exploring its vast digital archives from the National Library of Scotland, then get wonderfully sidetracked by a rotating cast of museum exhibitions. It’s the kind of place where history feels immediate and alive, not stuck behind glass.

Collection Highlights

Dive into millions of historic photographs and maps online, or get hands-on with their fascinating moving image archive. The main exhibition halls constantly change, but you might find anything from ancient Egyptian artifacts to displays on Scottish sporting history.
