Hard to believe these beautiful buildings used to be in Kelvingrove Park. The Glasgow International Exhibition of 1901, was an amazing demonstration of Victorian self confidence which proudly displayed the great progress made in industry, science and art during the nineteenth century. They had also held one 1888 which was massively popular and the profits paid for Kelvingrove Art Gallery.
You can see more from the 1901 International Exhibition here.

Definately! I’ve been a bit obsessed with these temporary exhibitions – that large white building was bigger than kelvingrove museum where it stood beside.
Have you seen the 1938 one in Bellahouston Park?
