Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is one of Scotland's most popular free attractions and features 22 themed galleries displaying some 8000 objects. It is located on Argyle Street, in the West End of Glasgow, Scotland (Scottish Gaelic: Glaschu, Alba). The building stands on the banks of the River Kelvin (Scottish Gaelic: Abhainn Cheilbhinn). It is built in a Spanish Baroque style, using red sandstone. It was designed by Sir John W. Simpson and E.J. Milner Allen and opened in 1901. It includes a series of architectural sculpture including by George Frampton, William Shirreffs and Francis Derwent Wood. Major refurbishment of the building was undertaken between 2003-6.
