Gallery of Modern Art in Glasgow

Come and uncover history through art at Scotland’s most visited art gallery and centre for Glasgow’s in-depth modern and contemporary art collection, Glasgow’s Gallery of Modern Art! Located in the heart of Glasgow at the Royal Exchange Square, this free attraction has been keeping visitors satisfied for almost 15 years!

The Gallery of Modern Art in Glasgow provides a deep thought-provoking experience that includes displays of both local and international artworks from the City’s collection as well as temporary displays and events with guest artists. There is a permanent display for visitors to enjoy that shows the history of the gallery’s building itself.

Outside of the gallery is the statue of the Duke of Wellington that is famously known for having a traffic cone sat on its head. Sometimes confused for being a piece of art displayed at the gallery, the cones are usually placed on the statue by passers-by late at night on their way back from a night out. This tradition of the traffic cone has been going on for almost 30 years now.
