Its the principal building from the 1888 Exhibition held at Kelvingrove. Building covered a huge area, roughly from the Cameronians memorial all the way to Gray Street and was a temporary building. The current Kelvingrove museum was built for the 1901 International Exhibition and was funded by the profits of the 1888 exhibition |
