I was overwhelmed by how much I enjoyed GoMA. It has a large collection of modern art, made accessible to the most un arty among us. With work by Turner Prize winners Grayson Perry, Simon Starling and Douglas Gordon it is unsurprising that it is the second most visited contemporary gallery outside London.

When I was in Glasgow a few years ago, I took the time to visit the Kelvingrove Gallery, and I am really glad that I did, as it was a really enjoyable way to spend a few hours. They have a truly amazing collection of European artists, although it concentrates on British artists.

Being a big connoisseur of art, whenever I find myself in Glasgow, my wife and I like to stop by McLellan Galleries. At McLellan’s, there is always examples of only the best contemporary artists from all over Europe, allowing us to experience different, and relevant, art, during each and every visit.

More than 9,000 pieces of art work reside in this collection of eclectic art that was collected by Sir William Burrell and his wife Constance. The collection was given to the city of Glasgow in 1944 and specified that it be displayed outside of the city limits, so it could be protected from the elements. However, they were unable to find a suitable place by the time of Burrell's death, but a 300-acre estate was discovered in the city that was donated by Mrs. Anne Macdonald. This museum is interesting because of the extensive array of medieval art, tapestries, paintings, fabric, furniture, stained glass and alabaster that it contains. The building is also light, airy and pleasant and it resides in a nice country setting, perfect for picnicking and outdoor activities.
