Le bâtiment a été ouvert au public en 1901 dans le parc Kelvingrove. "Most of the founding contents were bequeathed by Archibald McLellan, a coach builder, who died in 1854. His name lives on at the McLellan Galleries in Sauchiehall Street. Objects from overseas expeditions by such famous explorers as David Livingstone, Charles Darwin and Captain Cook were added to the collections. The total number of objects in the collections now stands at over 200,000 items. " www.glasgowmuseums.com/venue/index.cfm?venueid=4 Le musée Kelvingrove est un musée universel avec des collections d'histoire naturelle, des objets d'art, des objets de mémoire. La muséographie n'est pas traditionnelle et s'apparente plutôt à celle d'un immense centre d'interprétation. Le volet pédagogique y est très développé et les ateliers pour les jeunes sont très nombreux.
