Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum has a Dali hanging in it that the council once bought for eight pounds, and now cannot bear to sell despite an offer running into the millions. That painting, Salvador Dali's Christ of St John of the Cross, arrived in 1952 for a mere eight thousand pounds, controversial then, priceless now.

Built in 1901 in a robustly Spanish Baroque style, using red sandstone and funds raised by the eleven million visitors to Glasgow's 1888 Great Exhibition, the building houses Rembrandts and Picassos alongside stuffed animals and Ancient Egyptian relics across four exhibition halls. There is even a rumour, unverifiable but irresistible, that its architect built the place back to front and threw himself from a tower upon realising his mistake.

VoiceMap's self-guided audio tour of Glasgow's West End walks visitors through the gallery's doors and out its back exit, using the building as a hinge between the university quarter above and Kelvingrove Park below, where the story continues among bandstands, statues and the River Kelvin.
