I am a weegie too Jags but still here !! Didn't know the transport museum had moved is it not still beside the Kelvin Hall?
It used to be on the South Side near to Victoria Road!! And now I think it has gone/is going out to the SECC site... (could be wrong there but do go and look for me!).
Oh!! I forgot about GOMA (HOW COULD I?) - newest art museum of the lot though the building is a David Hamilton conconcoction from an earlier Tobacco Lords mansion. It's got some fantastic modern paintings/creations in it - fav ones by Peter Howson, Steven Campbell, the guy who painted the now defunct eaterie and has an unprounceable name. etc. etc
Hi all, Slim. Me an ex weegie too. Few years since I visited it (next to Kelven Hall) but I think there was talk then of moving it. How long Art Galleries shut for, used too get a decent cup of tea in there.
Bunny, jump on the bus in the morning and bring us a full report please asap, we all wait in anticipation.
:lol:

:lol: Jim - the Kelvingrove is closed for 3 years now as it's undergoing major refurb. Think the art is being toured so that we can still see it. I like to stand in front of some of the pics and wonder!
I'm thinking of Peploe, Caddell, the mighty JD Fergusson, Hunter, Millias, Degas et al.
Of course, there is also the Hunterian Art Gallery (how could I forget) in the University - that has been bequeathed the contents of Whistler's studio and a large number of his paintings AND a large number of Charles Rennie Macintosh work too.
Grief - Glasgow is STUFFED with art museums.
Did we help TS???

The list goes on. We are a very cultured lot here in Glasgow ur we no.
Slim the transport museum is still at Kelvin Hall but it is apparently being moved to some site beside the SECC. And as Jags said the Kelvingrove Art Gallery is closed for 3 years its been shut since June last year

Hey You Weegie Guys,
Is this a private party or can anyone join in? We're all feeling a bit left out in the cold here!
Feel like saying 'Pardon me for not wearing tartan and drinking Buckfast!' but that would be bitter and uncouth!
Oh by the way, I've been to Glasgow a few times and I just love the place! I can well understand why you lot get so patriotic up there.
Allgood

Can anyone help me? I've often wondered where the word "weegie" comes from and seeing as how there are so many around, this seems the place to ask. I think I've got the more commonly used term of "soapdodger" pretty well nailed though.

Apparently one of the museums, libraries or art galleries in Glasgow has a large picture at the entrance showing some people and ferrets.
I was wondering if any one from Glasgow had seen this picture, and I was wondering if it was possible to get a print of the picture.

Ferrets! I didn't know I had family up there? Must check phone book for 'Mcartificers'
Grief.. a picture of ferrets?? I've never seen that one - Kelvingrove had that 'Monarch of the Glen' at the front (well, inside!) and the Millais 'Last of the Orthinthologists' at the side and great big hunking statues at both front and back doors.
Can't image GOMA having ferrets though the exhibitions change frequently - but then the front portico has installation art which is fixed.
Don't think ferrets are very religious so that rules out Provand's Lordship (Gallery of Religious Art now). In terms of art museums that only really leaves Burrell but...ferrets??
Hunterian - definitely not!
People's Palace - maybe...alongside Billy Connolly's Big Banana Feet??
Not much help sorry- but are you sure it's ferrets???
