People's Palace, Glasgow
Glasgow great for historic museum.
For a great glimpse into Glaswegian culture, the People's Palace could well provide anything visitors to the Scottish city could wish for.
Built in 1898, the building acts as a social history museum giving an insight into the lives of Glasgow residents over the past 250 years.
As a result, the wide variety of works on display means there is bound to be something for everyone to glimpse.
One of the many features to behold in the museum is the 'single end', a one-room family home popular in the 1930s, while budding historians can also check out an Anderson air raid shelter.
There is also the Visions of the City exhibit by local artist Ken Currie and comedian Billy Connolly's banana boots from the1970s.
Meanwhile, those looking to take a breather can grab a bite to eat in the palace's cafe or relax in the Winter Gardens conservatory.
The palace also features the world's largest terracotta fountain.
So for both an informative and interesting visit to Glasgow, why not stop off at the People's Palace?
