Ceiling
Posted by Jackie on July 17, 2009
I think I may possibly have shown another picture of this from another angle in the early days of this blog. But it’s always worth another outing – this is the arched ceiling and organ pipes from the entrance hall of the Kelvingrove Museum.

Never notice the organs before, go figure. Thanks for the reminder to look up wherever I go!

Heavenly photo! I guess it was formerly a cathedral, house of worship? Glad to see it’s been nicely restored!

Leif, it was never a cathedral – Amy, it was opened in 1901 as a museum and has been so ever since. Jani, as far as I recall they do an organ recital every day at 1pm. Kalpesh: thank you very much

Absolutely AWESOME! What a magnificent building!!!!!! To think they were building such grand buildings in the early 1900’s and now, we use “fake” this and that…we certainly have “degraded”!!!!!

The architecture is fascinating. The pipe organ looks amazingly well-maintained. Is it still being played?
Tinsie said
WOW. Ornate ceilings are soooo beautiful!

It certainly is worth another look, maybe many more looks! Gorgeous, and I’m assuming it was a religious edifice at some point in time…

hmmm…. That organ looks as if it may be a tracker organ similar to the one at Saint Mark’s Lutheran Church, San Francisco. Saint Mark’s organ is modeled after the one J.S. Bach played at Saint Thomas Kirke, Liepzig.
