Glasgow – The Family Outing

If you are visiting Glasgow as a family, then there is plenty of cultural attractions for everyone to enjoy.

The St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art for instance, is the perfect place for children and adults to learn about people’s religious beliefs and customs. They can also discuss and explore age-old themes – life, death and the hereafter.

The museum is divided into areas for four exhibitions across three floors. There is a Gallery of Religious Art, a Gallery of Religious Life, the Scottish Gallery and a space for temporary exhibitions – modern and old.

Within the University of Glasgow, there is the Hunterian Museum. It is located within the exquisite Gilbert Scott Building which first opened in 1807. It is Scotland’s oldest public museum and it is filled with millions of an eclectic mix of items, some surprising, and others bizarre. You will find mummies, meteorites... Charles Rennie Mackintosh to ancient Roman life. The museum’s collection is fascinating in its richness and unpredictability. There is a vast collection of animal life and incredible art and artefacts.

Again it is a trip worth making with the whole family. Adults and children alike will be captivated by something in every room. So, keep your bound-to-be excited children on a tight enough leash to make sure you do not lose them in the crowds.

Any short break Scotland has to offer will be full of fascinating gems. For instance another worthwhile attraction to visit is the Light House, Glasgow’s centre for architecture and design. Short Breaks Scotland will be able to provide you with a lot more attractions on any of the major cities in the country.
