Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is located in Glasgow’s West End, within the Joseph Paxton masterplanned Kelvingrove Park. The building is considered by many as Glasgow City Council’s ‘jewel in the crown’ and is the most visited museum in the UK, outside London. ‘Kelvingrove New Century Project’ is the title for the major reinstatement works, which also included the replacement of the existing, and in many cases original, services and a totally new strategy for the redisplay of the extensive collection. Lower-ground level stores and staff accommodation were removed to free space for additional public use at this level for the first time in the building’s history. A new restaurant and education suite now flank a newly created north entrance, Kelvingrove’s first barrier free access. The main intervention at this level is the creation of a much-needed new temporary exhibition space. This will allow major, international travelling exhibitions to be displayed in a high-quality, environmentally-controlled venue. The creation of two new public stairs from the temporary exhibition space to the impressive centre hall at upper ground level link the two floors both visually and physically. Relocated public lifts combine with this to encourage vertical circulation through the building. Existing basement level services were replaced and are now incorporated in part at roof level. Sensitive refurbishment of the elaborate internal detailing further enhances the visitor experience and helps maintain the fabric for this century. The rationalisation of visitor parking from the northern and western elevations releases the land once again for passive recreation and opens up the prospect of the building in its reinstated parkland setting. Kelvingrove New Century Project was funded by several bodies, including the Heritage Lottery Fund, ERDF, Historic Scotland, The Wolfson Institute, and Glasgow City Council.
