The People’s Palace will close on Sunday 14 April for a major refurbishment.

 

Thanks to the recent funding secured from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, the next stage of this exciting project can begin. This much-loved attraction will reopen, unveiling a reimagined and restored museum and glasshouse.

We are delighted this transformational project will protect this invaluable cultural and heritage asset for generations to come.

Whether you are local to Glasgow, or thinking of visiting, make time to take in the many treasures on display in the popular People’s Palace over the coming weeks.
