About this Event

Movement of people is and continues to be a key part of Glasgow. Glasgow's Museums are seen by many as key parts of the City's heritage and culture. Our museums would look completely different without migration. This tour will explore how Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, since its opening in 1901 to the present day, has been shaped by the cultural richness and diversity that migration brings to Glasgow.
