Always a joy to take in the historical, archaeological, biological, and cultural gems of #KelvingroveMuseum.
Quiz of the day … who is the artist of this simple work? It certainly surprised me.
Answer: It’s LS Lowry. Very different to his “matchstick men and matchstick cats and dogs”.

Last one for today is the quietly stunning ‘Sunset, Herblay, 1889’ by Paul Signac. I love the reflections in the water and the sunset. It’s such a simple composition, yet I stood looking at it for ages.

I’ve always been ambivalent about Van Gogh. I can admire his skill; the eyes in this portrait of Glasgow art dealer Alex Reid from 1887 are mesmerising. But on the whole, his work passes me by (and yes, I know that’s my loss!).

This little guy caught my eye! ‘An itinerant musician’, probably by Adriaen van Ostade, probably 1640s/1650s. The half-smile is beautifully done. You’d love to spend an hour talking to him, but wouldn’t trust him an inch!

My visit to the Kelvingrove wouldn’t have been complete without lunch during the daily organ recital!

This is one of those paintings; it just made me stop and stare. ‘The Druids - Bringing in the Mistletoe’ by George Henry & Edward Atkinson Hornel. It’s an amazing image, full of colour and strength.

This is ‘VE Day 1945’ by LS Lowry. His work appears so simple, but there is so much going on. It deserves a much longer look at another time.

First thing that caught my eye at the Kelvingrove today was this group of shabtis. I love these little figures, there’s something so personal about them, even though they were produced in their millions.

Another first visit today, this time to the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. It’s a splendid building, but having some major work done. It still looks good in the sunshine with the University of Glasgow above it. Just a sighting visit today

🏛️Au musée à Glasgow, le public peut s'exprimer sur la question de notre origine dans un livre ou via des magnet sur un tableau.
J'aime beaucoup la réponse en haut, des pistes pour une nouvelle recherche en #exobiologie?

Some of my favourite paintings of the sea from the Kelvingrove Museum this weekend.
I've always been obsessed with artists who can capture the sea in any of its moods...

It's been a superb weekend in #Glasgow for @sequential-scot.bsky.social 😎
Lots of touristy snaps to follow, but firstly, I bought THE cutest notebook ever at the #KelvingroveMuseum on Thursday...
(This is not up for debate)
I do love a Highland Coo!!

Here at the #KelvingroveMuseum in Glasgow having a cup of tea and looking around, making me think that the word 'nook' must have been created for this sort of place. It has lots of great nooks.
Some amazing paintings at the Kelvin Grove Museum and Art gallery! In Glasgow

This will be a prepaid ticketed event and there will be access to the museum galleries before the performance. If you’ll be in Glasgow before the convention begins, this is a performance you won’t want to miss!
