An article looking at the £30 million (UKP) refurbishment of the Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery in Glasgow, Scotland: " Not only does it contain a major world class collection of Impressionist masterpieces but it also boasts major Italian Renaissance treasures and key Scottish works. Salvador Dali's painting Christ of St John of The Cross will, of course, be returned to Kelvingrove, having hung at St Mungo Museum during the refurbishment. Add to this the applied arts collections, arms and armour, Egyptology, ethnography and natural history and you begin to span its breadth. How then to satisfy a general visitor and yet still endow each object with the dignity and gravitas demanded by its place in our heritage?"
See the above page for the full discussion of the refurbishment, the issues that needed to be taken into consideration and how the Kelvingrove has tackled them.
