Overview

Even although I am I weegie [Glaswegian] I haven't been here since I was a child. I came to see the da Vinci drawings. There was 12 drawings from the Royal collection they had been 'acquired' by Charles II hundreds of years ago. I didn't realize the museum shut at 5 o'clock sharp, it was probably just as well because we had the restaurant booked for dinner. I will definitely be coming back, entering the main hall brought back a lot of childhood memories. It also houses one of my favorite paintings 'Christ of St. John of the Cross' by Salvador Dali.

Transport & Parking

The venue has plenty of parking. Being at the heart of the West End there are plenty of buses from the city center.

Access

I came off the bus, crossed that the traffic lights and tried to enter by the front entrance [it's actually the back as the front looks onto the park around the other side]. I couldn't see the access at the front steps and there was no signage which I find a bit strange for this iconic building. I was meeting someone in the café so called them and they had the members of staff come and meet me. I had to travel around the side of the building to enter in the back [front]. There is a lift at the second set of steps at the front [back] but you have to access these from the car park so you may as well just go in the back [front] entrance. Sorry for the back/front jumble. There are elevators inside the building to get to different floors.

Toilets

The toilets are large clean facilities. One of the toilets has a changing bench for adults, I don't need it myself but I love when I see these things.

Staff

I didn't have much interaction with the staff, apart from when the where 'throwing us out'

Anything else you wish to tell us?

We are just so lucky in Glasgow to have these free museums.
