The palace from the outside

 Those who's never been to Glasgow just have to see this marvellous place called Kelvingrove. It's absolutely stunning inside, but from the outside it's truly breathtaking.

Thу Palace of Fine Arts was opened in 1901. Built out of the finest rose sandstone, it's towers, statues, galleries, arches, alcoves and arcades are still captivating.

Its every element captures the imagination, forcing your brain to paint the scenes of tragedies, regency, court hearings, curses of the bishop and much more.

The Kelvingrove's symmetry is phenomenal. Maybe because of the symphony of all the elements? It reminds a bit of baroque music: lush, bright, slightly pretentious and solemn. But the end of the 19th century added its own motives: rigor, restraint, classicism and conciseness.

This combination is reflected in everything, including the statues' faces, postures, emotions.

So, if you find yourself in Glasgow one day, don't listen to those who tells you that Kelvingrove is a banal place to visit. You'll be surprised with the desire to explore more corners of this sweet mystery and stay there until you see it all, like in a rabbit hole, where time doesn't exist.
