Funding secured from The National Lottery Heritage Fund means the next stage of a transformational project can begin, which will completely reimagine and restore the much-loved museum and Winter Gardens glasshouse.

Glasgow Life, the charity which delivers culture and sport in the city, launched a ‘Last chance to see’ campaign on 20th February. It urges locals, and visitors to the city, to make time to take in the many treasures on display in the popular People’s Palace over the next eight weeks.

Set in historic Glasgow Green, the iconic building is home to collections documenting the city’s social history from 1750 to the present day. Highlights include an opportunity to reminisce about Glasgow past at the single end, Steamie and Buttercup Dairy displays. For others, prized objects include the bright Barrowland sign, and iconic banana boots worn by one of Scotland’s favourite comedians, Billy Connolly.
