Little but beautiful museum. For anyone interested in Glasgow City’s history. Free entry. Top floor is closed for maintenance. Clean toilets. There is also a coffee shop. Huge grass fields outside.

Free place to go and explore! The museum was really interesting and had a lot of cool displays and parts of the exhibits. I loved the interactive bits and thought it was a perfect spot to get out of the rain and read about Glaswegian history.

Parking is free and entry in free...so what are you waiting for. It has the full story of Glasgow across 3 floors, as well as a cafe & toilets. There is also a lift if you can't handle the stairs. Spent 2 hours here before closing at 5pm. Will definitely be back, as I feel there is more to digest.

Lovely building full of very interesting artefacts of Glasgow through the years. We enjoyed our visit very much. Had a decent cup of coffee and a snack in the cafe area. The toilets were very poor. I understand its an old building but the toilet seats weren't even secured properly and the restrooms were not very clean. This is the reason I cannot give it 5 stars.

This place is worth a visit. I would recommend that you check the open times beforehand.

Great place for a brisk walk in the area. Beautiful Surroundings and stunning buildings as well. Would Highly Recommend It.

Very easy walk from George Street where I was staying, clear regular signage along the route It was closed so not able to review the interior of the Palace The grounds are OK but the resounding feature is the fountain. Will return when it's fully open

Free entry. Museum of Glasgow's history. Very informative and staff helpful and knowledgeable. Will go back again. Definitely worth a visit.

Great musuem with amazing views & a large green area outside. Located within a 1-2 min walk of the tour bus stop. Great location if you are visiting glasgow!

Beautiful place with amazing history. No gate takings and you don't have to book to go in. You however can make a donation to the running of the place from just £5. It's also got a coffee shop where you can have a cuppa during your tour. Amazing staff, very helpful

This was an interesting place to visit. It was free entry. The exhibits are based on the life of Glaswegians. This palace was built as a place for everyday people to visit. Very informative without lots to read. It was a great place to visit

An fairly interesting free entry museum but there's not much to see and you'll get through it pretty quickly. Nice building and fountain though.

I love this museum, It should be more popular!! The information inside is very well displayed, with big wall size pictures, we can see the interior of rooms dating to the beginning of the 20th centuries (there is also a shop and a bunker) and objects to explain how people lived. The topics covered: the first and second world war, the house crisis, poverty, justice, entertainment, holiday and the first bourgeois. The pictures taken are moving, mixing slums and group of children playing in the building stairs, it made me feel both lucky to be able to live in a proper house, but also nostalgic to an era that I didn't know, when neighbours knew each other and whose children could play around without restriction/fear of strangers. This museum is for me a rare exemple of the right level of text to inform and well displayed to be eye-catching. In addition, the person at the entrance of the museum was really nice, he said hello and goodbye with a big smile.

Free entrance for everyone. What a lovely place! A splendid way to travel backwards in time! This place truly caters to the public, keeping diverse areas vibrant. The stunning architecture and garden surroundings could easily pass as a filming location for "Downton Abbey." Kudos to the incredibly kind individuals standing at the entrance all day, braving the cold to offer every visitor a proper welcome! Ensure you contribute a small donation to play your part in sustaining this establishment (I've included the QR code in one of the pictures).

Great museum, lots of information but not too big and all doable in an hour if you wanted but equally you stay for a few to get more detail out of the exhibits. The cafe has cheap drinks and snacks after too. Lovely location in the park and great attentive staff who are very knowledgeable. I'm really glad I came here while I was in Glasgow for a few days.

The People's Palace in Glasgow is a must-visit attraction for anyone visiting the city. The museum offers an immersive experience into the history of Glasgow and its people, with a range of exhibits and displays that are both informative and engaging. The exhibits are well-curated and presented, with a mix of interactive displays, artifacts, and multimedia presentations that bring the history of Glasgow to life. The displays cover a range of topics, including the city's industrial heritage, its social history, and its cultural significance. One of the highlights of the museum is the recreated streetscape of Glasgow in the early 20th century, which provides a fascinating insight into daily life in the city at that time. The displays are beautifully designed and bring the period to life in a way that is both informative and entertaining. Overall, the People's Palace is a fantastic museum that provides a window into the past of one of Scotland's most vibrant and fascinating cities. Whether you are a history buff or just looking for an interesting way to spend a few hours, the People's Palace is definitely worth a visit.

Was disappointed to find out that the Winter Gardens is closed for a while as that was why I wanted to come here in the first place! The actual museum is open, nice history of Glasgow and its people/culture, etc. Smallish museum. Free entry and easily accessible from city center or by bus (<10 mins walk from nearest bus station).

It’s free and no booking is required. Also free parking. This museums shows the history of Glasgow and gives visitors an insight into how Glaswegians lived, worked and played in years gone by through collection of objects, photographs, prints and a film. Greenhouse (Winter Gardens) is closed though, not sure if and when it will re-open. There are toilets throughout the building, lifts for those who may need extra help and on the first floor there is a café.

A unique astonishing place .must be reopened. is our cultural heritage and history. do not deprive it from the world! established from 1750 to the present day.

It's good, but shame the glasshouse section has been closed for years. Used to like to come down here when I lived nearby and walk round the gardens if it was cold or rainy. However on the plus side the Doulton fountain outside was actually operational for a change.

With its location being a bit outside of the city centre, it is around a 20 min walk from queen street station. The palace itself is pretty entertaining to walk through if you're interested in the history of Glasgow, but otherwise it is not necessarily worth the visit. The garden house was not open when I visited though, that might have made it better.

It’s a good passer of time to wander through but could do with sprucing up a bit. Felt a bit stuck in the past in terms of presentation (a bit like some of the displayed items!). It has the potential to be something greater just needs some financial investment and some TLC.

People’s Palace is nicely with the Glasgow Green. A lovely architecture and heritage. Lovely place to bring the family, the children would love it. It’s a free entry but currently temporarily closed due to the COVID restrictions. Easily accessible for wheelchair 🦼.

Loved this visit...and I have returned with the young people I work with ... lovely to explore and the surrounding area is great too ... Definitely we worth a visit

It's a great museum, I really enjoyed it. There is a café in the greenhouse with rare plants. I think it's a good place for photo shoots.

I enjoyed this place for its detailed social history of Glasgow covering the terrible housing conditions and significant contribution to the British empire through its industrial base. The layout is looking a little tired and at times the displays read like a council advert. Also the winter gardens is closed indefinitely following covid. Free entry. We caught a cab there as it's half an hour walk from the city centre.

Lovely architecture. Free entry. Nice place to bring family. Big grounds on the outside for picnic when the weather is nice and a lovely playground nearby. Lots of free street parking along the Museum. There’s a nice cafe in the winter garden. The display is great to introduce the little ones with some of the things we grew up with from the early 1960s-1990s.

Amazing place and hope it opens again soon. Glasgow has it all.Great architecture shops and friendliest of people.😍

Nice. Incredible histories.

Took my son for a look at some Glasgow Culture and he enjoyed it, especially when he got to pose with The Benny Lynch cut out 😁 Winter Gardens was closed, which is a shame, and shortens the visit👍 The fountain in front of the People's Palace is STUNNING and loads of greenery about to have a picnic or a wee rest 5 minutes walk away is an Adventure Playground with big slides and climbing, there's also another park next it for smaller children

Enjoyed visiting People’s Palace. Lots to see & learn about Scotland’s largest city. Needs to be seen when in Glasgow!

A place to go back and revisiting the past. Here we will have the understanding of how people lived back then in Glasgow. Interesting display of information from housing, culture to drinking habits.

Great building, absolutely beautiful. Interesting way to spend an hour or so wandering around the exhibitions,even saw Billy Connolly's banana boots. Set in lovely grounds and the fountain at the front is a sight to behold. Lovely.

What a (good) surprise to visit this People's Palace. It displays various themes such as the housing problem in Glasgow, WW1, the wealth brought by slavery in colonies for cotton, tobacco and sugar, socialism,etc.... The entrance is free and the staff is very welcoming and friendly. I definitely recommend it.

Staff were very helpful and the displays and layout was fantastic a great family day out

Really love donation based admission museum. Learned a lot about the history of Glasgow.

Great place to visit. Lots of interesting things to see. Makes you proud to be from Glasgow.

Free entry, so much interesting information and facts from Glasgow history. Really enjoyed visiting this place!

The palace is small compared to other museums in Glasgow. But going there preferably by bike is worth it. It is located in Glasgow green and its free to enter. You'll get insights from Glasgow,s past and how the city evolved over time. Staff's attitude is nice.

Nothing special.there is a fountain which represents the different nations which were dominated by england before 1947. The garden is fine for walking. If you want just to relax this is a good place.

Free museum in a historic building in Glasgow Green. Gives the history of Glasgow, but from the working person's life vs. a general broader history. What did people do for work, leisure, and how did they raise families. How did that change over time? What about when war came? What was housing like? Good way to spend an hour. 3 floors. Best for adults.

I was visiting a friend in Glasgow and he mentioned, as he knew I liked history, to go to The People's Palace which is just a little walk from the main city center of Glasgow. As we got there you are greeted with a beautiful green park with a big obelisk right in the centre of the Park which is dedicated to the late Lord Nelson, victor of the Battle of Trafalgar. Erected only a year after the battle, the funds were raised by public subscription during the countrywide outpouring of grief which followed the death of the victorious admiral. Walking towards the front of the Museum, you see a great big fountain which was first erected in Glasgow’s Kelvingrove Park for the 1888 International Exhibition. Then in 1890, the whole fountain was transported two and a half miles to a new location on Glasgow Green. It was then moved for a second time in 2004 to outside the front entrance of the People’s Palace. The fountain depicts the four colonies of the British Empire and then on top of the Fountain, Queen Victoria herself. Going into the Museum itself was a rather interesting walk through time and history, the the left of you when you enter the building is a cafe for you to relax in whether you do that before or after is completely up to you. In certain rooms, there are Costumes for people to dress up in, all being Costumes worn by people from the early years of Glasgow.

I really enjoyed visiting People's palace. There were loads of amazing photographs from historical Glasgow and I think that it offers a very good glimpse into the history of the city! They had several interactive stations where you could dress up which was nice and I especially enjoyed an exhibit of a realistic livingroom from the past. The artifacts within that exhibit seemed genuine and you could smell a very peculiar (seemingly authentic) smell that really left an impression on me. I never had such a multi-sense-experience at a museeum! Absolutely wonderful.

they wouldn't let me take home anything

Good afternoon visit. Lots to see that brings back old memories.

Brilliant day out. Brought back so many good memories. Can recommend.

Great exhibition

Fantastic place to visit plenty to see

A great wee afternoon out. Always an enjoyable experience and my granddaughter loves visiting as much as I do. Not only educational but a fascinating insight of how are grandparents used to live. It brings history alive.

I found the museum quite interesting. It has alot of information about Glasgow's history and Scotland. Sadly the Winter Garden was closed but was good to visit the museum. Some of the displays need a bit of work but overall a nice experience!

Really nice! Love it!

Very informative and lots of history

Sunny night wee snap of peoples palace

Nice

A nice place to enjoy the afternoon. There are art exhibitions and a neat greenhouse.

A beautiful building with nice diverse exhibitions, particularly about social subjects. Lovely and not crowded on a Thursday afternoon.

Support this great museum to keep it going for generations to come. I loved visiting as a kid and it's just as much a treat as an adult

People palace great building etc and when they do winter gardens and modernised inside people palace will be fab

People's palace is a great asset to the city. There's loads in it which shows you about life in Glasgow from years gone by. Our kids love it too. It is definitely missing the Winter Gardens at the moment, but here's hoping that it gets fixed and is open again in the near future.

I really liked this museum. Here you can discover a lot of interesting things abouto Glasgow culture and life. There are old clothes, part of jail and olso an hold home.. very nice!

A very nice museum and gallery. It takes you through the history of the people in Glasgow. Free entry and easy to get to.

Nice museum, shows the culture and history of Glasgow. I liked it. Although it is small, there's much to be seen. But it won't take up an entire day. Worth visiting. Shows mainly the history with alcohol, dancing, and housing issues. Very thought-provoking.

Interesting local history of the area, good way to spend a couple hours. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Free entry too.

It's a fantastic day out for the family to enjoy

Very interesting history of Glasgow. Beautiful buildings and grounds. Worth a visit

You could find the history of Glaswegians for years

(Translated by Google) An interesting museum but which deserves a larger space as there is so much to see (Original) Un musée intéressant mais qui mériterait un espace plus grand tant il y a de choses à voir

Such a neat place to see!

Lovely place to spend a weekend with family

Nice wee display of Glasgow's history. Will be even better when the winter garden opens back up.

Took a trip here to see the a picture of my wifes gran when she was the face of a soup! Not disappointed.

(Translated by Google) I loved it. And free! (Original) Me ha encantado. Y gratis!

(Translated by Google) Summary exhibitions. Beautiful setting (Original) Expositions sommaires. Beau cadre

Really good place to visit see Glasgow of old

Needing a bit of attention but great things to see.

Great museum, although half of it (the gardens) were closed. It would have been nice if they had updated their website to reflect this so as to not leave visitors disappointed.

Interesting history of Glasgow I didn't know.

Marvrlloys history of Glasgow

Great historical museum

Took my Daughter here and had a great day.Gardens were absolutely beautiful,definitely lots to see.Gid wee day oot.

Amazing place so much to look at.

(Translated by Google) This place with history is worth recommending for those who like to visit and get to know the local and not only history. I recommend ? (Original) To miejsce z historią warte polecenia dla lubiących zwiedzać i poznać miejscową i nie tylko historię. Polecam ?

Great popular recent history of Glasgow, wtill worth a visit!

An interesting place to visit in a nice riverside location on Glasgow Green. I've seen the nicely mixed exhibits several times now but I still find them interesting. And there are temporary exhibitions that change. When I was there it was displaying black and white photography taken by camera club members in 1955. It was a pity that the winter gardens were closed when we visited. Lots of the exhibits are child-friendly; and it's quite a small museum so good for families for an hour or two. And if you do bring children there are two playparks nearby (one for younger children, one for older ones) a couple of minutes walk away. It's free to enter, donations are welcomed.

A nice day out with the family and check out the Templeton carpet factory nearby smashing old building

Very nice details into the history of Glasgow. Lots of exhibits and movie shows. Well maintained and friendly staff. The gift shop and cafe is also good.
