Across the road from the Museum, is
the impressive Kelvin Hall, that used
to hold the Museum of Transport. The
Museum of Transport was moved to the
Riverside
Museum in 2011. The Kelvin Hall is
now mainly used as an indoor
International Sports Arena, and hosts
events such as Boxing, Badminton and
Volleyball. Large

Next to the Kelvingrove Museum, to
the north, is the University
of Glasgow, that holds the Hunterian
Museum, home to Scotland's oldest
Public Museum, and the World's largest
collection of works by renowned
Scottish architect Charles Rennie
Mackintosh. The University Gardens are
a popular walk, with a large statue of
Lord Kelvin,
Glasgow's greatest scientist. Large Image of
the Lord Kelvin Statue.
Next to the Kelvingrove Museum, to
the east, is the large Kelvingrove
Park, with a number of scenic areas and
a Skate/Bike facility. Sitting high
above Kelvingrove Park, is the
impressive Park Terrace and Park
Circus, an area of Glasgow modeled on
the architecture of Bath. You can walk
up through Kelvingrove Park to Park
Circus.
