About this place

Free contemporary art gallery in the centre of Glasgow, best known for the traffic-coned Duke of Wellington statue outside.

Housed in a grand neoclassical building in the heart of Glasgow, this gallery displays contemporary and modern art across several floors, with changing exhibitions that range from painting and sculpture to video and installation work. Outside, the equestrian statue of the Duke of Wellington has worn a traffic cone on its head for decades despite repeated council attempts to stop it, and has become one of Glasgow's most photographed and best-loved landmarks. The gallery itself suits older children with a developing interest in art more than toddlers, though the building and its central location make it an easy stop regardless. Entry is free, and the building is fully accessible.
