kw
Glasgow life
Doors Open Day lasts a weekend. Strange I know, but this is because you need more than one day to have the slightest chance of seeing inside so
many of the city’s incredible buildings.
Glasgow was the first city in the UK to have a Doors Open Day when it was introduced by the Glasgow Building Preservation Trust in 1990. It has grown in popularity and now 62 buildings within the city are opening their doors to let the public have a good old nosey around. There is a wide mix of buildings taking part in the weekend event from the sheriff court and the Glasgow Science Centre through to the GFT and Garnethill Synagogue. Many of the buildings are open to the public on a daily basis already but for others this is a rare opportunity to see behind the scenes.
Glasgow is steeped in architectural history and this weekend allows you to step back in time and catch a glimpse of history. One such building is the Britannia Panopticon Music Hall, one of the last survivors of the music hall in the UK. Others show how old buildings have been reworked and revamped to bring them in line with today’s needs such as the Arches and the Lighthouse. It is also a chance to see the work of some of the city‘s
famous architects. (Jane Hamilton)
