Scotland's most visited art gallery and the centre for Glasgow's extensive modern and contemporary art collection.
Found in the heart of Glasgow in Royal Exchange Square, GoMA is FREE to enter.
The gallery provides a thought-provoking programme including displays of local and international artworks from the City’s collection alongside temporary exhibitions and events with artists.

Outside the gallery sits the statue of the Duke of Wellington that is often adorned by a traffic cone. Sometimes confused for being an art installation that the Gallery is responsible for, the cone(s) on Wellington's statue are placed by daring passers-by, usually very late at night. It seems to have been going on for about 30 years or so.

Glasgow Cathedral stands near the heart of Scotland’s largest city. It’s the only medieval cathedral on the Scottish mainland to have survived the Protestant Reformation of 1560 virtually intact.
Glasgow Cathedral is one of the finest buildings of the 1200s to survive in mainland Scotland. Parts of it are older still.
Building fabric from Bishop Jocelin’s time (1174–99) is still standing. He is recorded as ‘gloriously enlarging’ his cathedral in 1181. Fragments from the previous cathedral have also been found.
Around it there used to be a chanonry – a precinct where the bishops (and, later, archbishops) and clergy lived. A thriving burgh sprang up to its south and west under the bishops’ patronage. Since then, the burgh has grown into the great metropolis we know today.

The Royal Exchange in Royal Exchange Square from Queen Street, 1834. The building was erected in 1778-1780 as the town house of William Cuninghame of Lainshaw, a rich tobacco lord, and was acquired in 1817 by the Royal Bank of Scotland. Ten years later the architect David Hamilton began converting it to become the city's new Exchange, adding features such as the double portico facade and a cupola and a newsroom. An equestrian statue of the Duke of Wellington was erected at the Queen Street entrance in 1844.
The Exchange served as a meeting place where merchants and other businessmen gathered to deal in commodities such as coal, iron and sugar and in services such as shipping and insurance. The city's first telephone exchange was located here in 1880. Ironically, the need for a business exchange building declined once telephones came into common use. The Corporation acquired the Royal Exchange in 1949 and five years later Stirling's Library was relocated there from Miller Street. In 1996 the building was converted to house the Gallery of Modern Art.
