Kelvin Hall

HISTORY

Glasgow’s Kelvin Hall has come one step closer to receiving Heritage Lottery Funding for plans to house 1.5 million treasures from the city’s museums collection. With the closure of the old transport museum, and imminent closure of the athletics track, the plan is to bring together several museum collections, research and learning.
