| The McLellan Galleries are an exhibition space in the city of Glasgow. Built in 1856, the Galleries are named after their builder, Archibald McLellan (1795-1854), a coach builder, councillor and patron of the arts. Following his death, Glasgow Corporation acquired the galleries, and for a time they were known as the Corporation Halls before reverting to their founder's name. The Galleries were situated behind a frontage of shops in Sauchiehall Street and housed Glasgow School of Art from 1869 to 1899.
In the 1980s the Galleries were ravaged by fire, but re-opened in 1990 as the largest high-quality, air-conditioned, temporary exhibition space in the UK outside London. |
