It is located in Kelvingrove Park in the West End of the city. To its north is the University of Glasgow and to its south is the Kelvin Hall. It is adjacent to Argyle Street previously known as Dumbarton Road. Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is one of Scotland's most popular buildings and free visitor attractions. The art gallery and museum opened in 1901, as part of the Glasgow International Exhibition (1901) , and fully opened to the public from 1st October 1902. The museum collections include natural history, Egyptian antiquities, design, architecture, medieval arms and armoury, Scottish history and the history of Glasgow. The art collections are one of Europe’s great civic art collections, including Scottish, European, African, Asian and Oceanic fine and decorative arts. In 2006, Kelvingrove re-opened after a three-year, £27 million refurbishment and restoration, with the collections re-organised into two halves: Life and Expression. The Life galleries represent natural history, human history and prehistory. The Expression galleries include the fine art collections. The 22 galleries display over 8,000 objects. Notable exhibits include Salvador Dalí's Christ of St John of the Cross, Sir Roger the Asian elephant, the Avant armour, and paintings by the Glasgow Boys and the Scottish Colourists.

The Hall is protected as a category B listed building, and is served by city bus services and by Kelvinhall subway station.
