I was a bit confused to walk through the entrance and find myself in a sports centre. Approaching the desk I enquired about the museum and was told there wasn't one.

The Open Collections has good disabled access and a pretty decent cafe with views over the River Kelvin. A befitting inheritor to the much loved Transport Museum which used to be housed there (now re-branded as the Riverside Museum at its new home downstream the Kelvin where it meets...
