Kelvingrove

Here is where we spent our afternoon in Glasgow -- the Kelvingrove Museum. In fact, we could have spent several afternoons here -- there is lots to see, lots to do, and lots to hear, including daily organ recitals. Oh, and there's a nice coffee shop. The Museum opened in 1901 as part of the Glasgow International Exhibition. The current organ is a mish-mash of the original 1901 organ, the repairs done after bomb damage in the Second World War, and a major restoration project in the late 1980s. Perhaps the best piece in the museum is Fulton's orrery, completed in 1833 after 14 years of work -- a good lead-up to a history of science conference!
