Glasgow Museums Resource Centre

Glasgow Museums Resource Centre is the first publicly accessible store for the city’s museum service. It is a new purpose-built museum storage facility and visitor centre in the south side of Glasgow.

The building houses collections which were previously on display and in storage at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum and the Gallery of Modern Art.
The building houses Kelvingrove’s collections while it is being refurbished, and will continue to hold the reserve collection when it reopens.

Glasgow Museums Resource Centre also houses the outreach service for Glasgow Museums which offers handling and reminiscence kits for loan, and temporary exhibits for display. It also works in partnership with groups throughout the city to create community museums. For more information, contact 0141 276 9376.
