Read the full event details

This walking tour of Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum examines the entanglements between museums and empire.

Moving through the museum, we'll stop at displays that reveal Kelvingrove’s links with slavery, colonialism and imperialism and think through the ways this history continues to shape the museum today.

Come and join the conversation.

Additional information:
 
This event takes place inside Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum. Whenever possible, we will be stopping at locations where there are benches and other forms of seating. We will follow a route through the museum that makes use of lifts. There are toilets, including accessible washrooms and those equipped with baby changing facilities, throughout the building. Kelvingrove can be a noisy environment, particularly on weekends when it is especially busy. While the tour begins in the main central hall, we will for the most part be spending time in smaller galleries where noise levels are lower.
