early work is open to the public, while other parts are now used as offices for
Glasgow Museums staff. Inside the building you can admire the fine tile work
and spectacular roof trusses. The iron work of the balconies is particularly
fine. The exterior is distinguished by the balance of the walls and windows,
and the detailing of the red sandstone.
