On entering this revamped place and proceeding into the great hall...OMG the detail in the pictures and paintings are visually stunning and esoterically beautiful.\n\nA very contemporary place, quieter than museum's usually are, yes it's smaller than I'd expected from the outside but makes up for it in wow factor, well worth the \u00a380K spent on renovation fees.\n\nGo if you like places with a medieval feel to them, history of scotland, medicine the war and the people who recorded some of the most significant historic events.\n\nWith a very busy gift shop and full to the brim bums on seats in their eatery, this was just the place to spend a few bob and actually learn something as well. \n\nGo if you like Glasgow Gorbals, art of science and medicine Royal Navy, death masks of William Burke and associated criminals, migrated families to Scotland and art history. I last visited a few months ago now, but feel like going again?\n\nBut above all...just go for the cultural effect, or the cafe buzz either way you will be rewarded.
