The People's Palace

The People's Palace is Glasgow's social history museum and a chance to see the story of the people and city of Glasgow from 1750 to the present.

The museum's collection includes paintings, prints and photographs displayed alongside a wealth of historic artefacts, film and computer interactives. Discover how a family lived in a display of a typical one-room Glasgow tenement family home of the 1930s. See the amazing banana boots worn by Billy Connolly on stage in the 1970s, and discover the political history of the city through some of the superb and unique banners on display.

Attached to the People's Palace is the Winter Gardens, and elegant Victorian glasshouse where you can relax among the tropical plants and enjoy the café. There is a programme of temporary exhibitions and events throughout the year. The People's Palace lies within the grounds of historic Glasgow Green, a short walk from the heart of the City, the People's Palace.
