Kelvingrove Art Gallery, Glasgow

It was opened as the Palace of Fine Arts for the Glasgow International Exhibition held in 1901 . It was built in a Spanish Baroque style, using Locharbriggs red sandstone. The reason why there is a pipe organ there is interesting: it was argued that the "gallery would be a body without a soul" without an pipe organ !
