The Kelvingrove Organ (Centre Hall)

The Kelvingrove Organ

Not just a must-see but also a must-hear. The organ at Kelvingrove was built by Lewis and Co., London, in 1901.

It was initially housed in a temporary concert hall throughout the 1901 Glasgow International Exhibition. It was moved to its permanent home at Kelvingrove in 1902.
 
The organ has undergone restoration twice (once because it suffered bomb damamge in 1941). It has been used to give free organ recitals since Kelvingrove opened.
 
There are daily organ recitals at Kelvingrove, at 1pm Monday to Saturday, and at 3pm and 3.45pm on Sundays.
