Worth a visit, but for single pod , rooms e.g. art or models, taxidermy. General tour was a bit of a rush. Good guide..BillyVisited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
It turns out that Glasgow has it's own relic warehouse where they might even be hiding their own Ark of the Covenant! I would highly recommend visiting the Museums Resource Centre as I went for pre-booked hour session on a Wednesday afternoon but the amount of curious artefacts and catalogued items will not leave you disappointed. Actually, members of the tour group were disappointed as an hour felt far too short to explore but then again the GMRC houses over 1.1 million objects from around the world so doing it all in one afternoon might be a bit of a challenge! It's definitely interesting and our guide was also very accomodating. This hidden hub in Nitshill certainly has a lot to offer!
I went there as a parent helper, and found myself asking questions ¦~]. Very interesting for the children, just wished it could of been a day trip rather than a morning. Staff were brilliant keeping the children in line and getting them involved.
Just loved this "hidden gem". Place itself fascinating and our guide Grant was both knowledgeable and entertaining. Would recommend doing a little research before a visit, just to get a broad idea of what sort of exhibits are stored there, as - due to the volume of artifacts - it's simply not possible to see everything probably not even in two or three visits. Thoroughly recommended.
If the tour schedule suits you, its is definitely worth the visit. Friendly staff, fantastic facility and great family events. Walk from the station is grim at best, but still very convenient if you can handle picking across the mud
A very under rated place which has lots of fun activities for children and adults. They also conduct experiments and research for the good of our natural environment.
Can't believe I've never been here before. AMAZING, it's so amazing. If you love a museum then this is a must.
One hour tour provides a brief overview of what is available. Massive painting gallery and many other pods of museum artefacts, very interesting and informative
The Museums Resource Centre is essentially a big warehouse for all the items in the Glasgow Museums collections which are not currently on display in one of Glasgow's museums. Visits are by arrangement, and if you can I recommend asking for a visit focussed on an area which particularly interests you. I have visited twice, once with a focus on the maritime collections. If you like ship models, you will need all your time to wander round the storeroom which houses these - there are just so many and the range is wide. Or maybe you like what as kids we referred to as the "Stuffies" the examples of the taxidermists' art - what ids at Kelvingrove is just a fraction of the collection - GMRC has a lot more stacked floor to ceiling. The Art collection is stored on huge pull out double sided frames, so you can see everything arts and all - and mind boggling it is. Don't pass up a chance to visit this. Please leave a like.
A great place that is not well known in Glasgow. Amazing collection of artefacts from Glasgow museum collections. Staff were extremely friendly and very knowledgeable and helpful. Well worth a visit
