ART & ICE CREAM

We had an outing to the Kelvingrove Art Gallery at the weekend to see the Glasgow Boys exhibition of paintings. Yes, the exhibition was worth seeing but much of our stamina was needed to keep the kids amused whilst various adults took turns to join the rather large number of people making their way around the rooms.

Ishie's curiosity at the big entrance doors was rewarded with them opening and letting the throngs through.


Many of the paintings are in Glasgow's 2 major galleries but this time they had gathered works from other galleries and private collections.

Kids can only concentrate on one thing and it isn't art! The ice-cream van situated across from the entrance occupied them for much of the time. Fortunately, it sits next to lots of grass, flowers, path and stream so they were able to play.



We really ended up with more ice-cream time than art time but we can always go home and select bits of what we saw on the internet e.g. here and here.
