Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA)

GoMA is Glasgow's premier gallery of modern and contemporary art, housed in a striking neoclassical building in the city centre. Families are welcomed with a range of interactive exhibits and hands-on activities designed to engage children of all ages. The gallery features rotating exhibitions, a dedicated Family Learning Space, and regular workshops for kids, including art-making sessions and gallery trails. Highlights: The iconic statue of the Duke of Wellington with a traffic cone on his head outside (a Glasgow landmark). Inside, bright, open spaces with thought-provoking art, plus a playful atmosphere. Free entry, so you can pop in for just 30 minutes or stay for hours. Facilities: Baby-changing facilities, family-friendly café, and accessible toilets. The gallery is buggy-friendly with lifts. There's also a shop with quirky gifts. Practical tips: Check the website for family workshop timings (often on weekends and school holidays). The gallery can get busy, but it's rarely overcrowded. Allow 1–2 hours. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
