Its name comes from glas ghu Celtic for "dear green place" and still lives up to its name with over seventy parks and gardens. Glasgow splendidly incorporates old with new, especially with regard to architecture in and around the city. It is adorned with beautiful buildings, accentuated by Victorian influence, a mark of its prosperity engendered by the Industrial Revolution. Glasgow, the largest city in Scotland, saw its prosperity stem from trade with the Americas. Locally manufactured goods were exchanged for vast amounts of tobacco and sugar, which in turn were re-exported to the continent. It once had the busiest port in the world, the workshop of the British Empire and was seconded only by London. Some of the worlds largest and grandest liners took to water from the River Clyde.
Glasgow can offer you a splendid cultural experience. The city is recognised as one of Europes major centres of art, culture and education, boasting over 30 art galleries and museums. It is brimming with historical and important architecture, exhibitions, theatres, shops, parks, gardens, pubs, restaurants and wine bars. A plentiful supply of a lively entertainment is provided in the form of concerts, opera, ballet, street shows, nightlife, live bands and music festivals, sports and events Glasgows culture embraces the heritage of the ordinary citizen at places like The Tenement House, where you can view an example of a typical city dwelling. The social history of Glasgow is told in the Peoples Palace.
The industrial history of the city and its surrounding towns can be found at the Summerlee Heritage Trust in Coatbridge, where a visit may include a ride on Scotlands only working electric tramway, amongst other historic machinery.

Housed in a handsome neoclassical building in the city centre, the Gallery of Modern Art displays some fine examples of Scottish figurative art, along with collections from all over the world and a number of interactive exhibits. The material on each floor of the gallery reflects one of the four elements of fire, air, earth or water.
The Burrell Collection boasts a large collection of textiles, furniture, ceramics and other artistic objects, showing the citys cultural wealth.
The Art Gallery and Museum in Kelvingrove Park is one of Europes finest civic art collections.

The Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery situated nearby shows the work of Charles Rennie Mackintosh. The Mackintosh House within the gallery hosts a reconstruction of the interiors of one of his former homes. The Glasgow School of Art was designed by Mackintosh and it is best appreciated from within, where the design really comes into its own, allowing as much natural light as possible to filter into the building.
