#timetotravel The Gallery of Modern Art is a gallery that displays contemporary arts in Scotland. It is one of the top tourist attractions in Scoland due to the statue right infront of it which always has a traffic orange cone on its head which signifies freedom of speech and the protector of the gallery. We managed to get in to this exhibition hall and saw Banksy's exhibition. It was so interesting. If you have time while being in Scotland, check it out and try to go and see an art exhibition if there are any when you are in the city. Enjoy!

👫For those visiting Glasgow for the first time, here is a recommended walking route in the city center. The whole journey takes about two hours, excluding exhibition time. 🏵️Route order: George Square—City Hall—Modern Art Museum—Central Railway Station—Buchanan Street—Hutcheson's Hall—Glasgow Cathedral—St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art—Necropolis 🏵️George Square is surrounded by majestic Victorian buildings (pictures 1️⃣2️⃣), especially the City Hall.

🎀A slogan that can be seen everywhere in Glasgow is: 'People Make Glasgow'. It is also the brand of the city, indicating that people's spirit and attitude can create the unique quality of the city. It also reflects the characteristics of the city: direct, ambitious, and regretless. 🎀In Glasgow, roadside shops have their own designed signs, colorful and diverse in style, graffiti can be seen everywhere. The 'hat-wearing' Duke of Wellington statue (Figure 6️⃣) at the entrance of the Museum of Modern Art, initially a prank, someone climbed the statue late at night and put a traffic cone on the duke's head. Everyone thought this image could represent the city's humorous and relaxed attitude. After several rounds of taking it on and off, the municipal authorities finally compromised. 🎀Glasgow has outstanding architectural relics from the 18th to 19th centuries. With the continuous development of the city, modern and classical collide and blend here. In 1999, it was named 'UK City of Architecture and Design'. At the same time, Glasgow has a unique atmosphere of humanities and arts. There are many street performances, impromptu dramas, singing and dancing in the city center. People here are very passionate about music and fine arts. There are many theaters, museums and art galleries. If you travel to Scotland, don't miss this city.😀
