What is Kelvingrove?

Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, mentioned by Billy Connolly, is a major Glasgow landmark. It's a civic museum, meaning it's owned and run by the city for the public good. It houses a vast collection, from natural history to fine art, making it a fitting venue for an exhibition celebrating a local icon like 'The Big Yin'.
