McLellan Galleries

McLellan Galleries, named after their contructor, 'Archibald McLellan' was built in 1856. Since his death, Glasgow City bought the Gallery, and it was used as an exhibition space.

In the 1980s the Galleries were ravaged by fire, but re-opened in 1990, following a £3 million restoration. The restoration changed it to becoming a general temporary exhibition space housing everything from trade shows to model railway exhibitions, to what was then the largest high-quality, air-conditioned, temporary exhibition space outside London. Inside the the Gallery, the interior is now Category B listed.
