Did you know that this Glasgow building used to be an art club?

has played a vital part in the city’s arts development and promotion since its establishment on May 29, 1861.

In 1879, due to big attendance figures, and the increasing number of works being shown, a new purpose-built gallery was created on Sauchiehall Street. The decision to host works that highlighted new developments in art have inspired local artists. For example, the internationally renowned group known as the Glasgow Boys were hugely influenced by the then modern works of French painters exhibited by the institute.
