Very interesting museum with lots to see and easy to move around. Enjoyed by all of us who attended will be well worth another visit when there is no time constraint due to other things planned for the day.
Enjoyed this very much. Staff very helpful. Display area for more recent work is quite narrow but wasn't a great problem. DVD and early work especially at East Park showed a wide body of work over his career.
Didn't even know about this place until a couple of weeks ago, and managed to catch the last day of the Jolomo exhibition. It was fantastic, ideally laid out apart from the very narrow gallery which was permanently jammed with people trying to angle themselves in front of pictures on both sides. The other rooms were great though (oh apart from one unfortunately positioned chair where an old lady plumped herself blocking everyone's view of one of the paintings) and I will definitely keep my eyes peeled for any future exhibitions at this lovely intimate venue.
I would thoroughly recommend this Exhibition. Jolomo's work is outstanding, much is thought provoking especially the East Park Home work, The landscapes easily take you there. This exhibition certainly complements the new gallery within Clydebank Town Hall. The staff came accross as knowledgable caring and friendly, the cafe has a nice selection of teas coffees and snacks. Also great to see the more permanent displays and photographs relating to Singers and John Browns.. An excellent Free Exhibition.
Clydebank Museum and Art Gallery is a wee gem...includes a permanent exhibition with the story of the Singer Sewing Machine Plant (now Clydebank Business Park), hosts permanent and visiting Art Exhibitions in the Courtyard Gallery, which is built on the site of the old Turkish Baths. A small memorial to historical Clydebank Activist Jane Rae is in the Garden Area, accessed from the gallery. Light refreshments available in the museum cafe which is really nice, overlooked by the statue of Mercury which used to be atop the Town Hall Clock Tower until the great gale of 1967 he now supervises the cafe...A lovely wee gallery, well worth a visit... more than one!
Went to see the Jolomo exhibition on Sat. 13 July and we were very pleasantly surprised. This is a lovely building which could easily be passed by from the outside; the inside is lovely and modern and the Jolomo exhibition was very interesting.Staff were very helpful and friendly and parking nearby was easy.The cafe is also very nice with lovely comfy seating.
This is a real gem. Wonderful displays of transport including the Schooner on the river. Beautifully set out too!
Very friendly and informative staff who went out of their way to be helpful. I would especially like to thank the young man in the gift shop who was very knowledgeable and helpful not only about what was on display but also what was available in the collections. I had expected to see a greater number of singer sewing machines on display so was disappointed that it was so limited. Still worth a visit.
Only covered a small area but had interesting exhibits on the Singer sewing machine factory and Clydebank's ship building heritage.
the building has had a lot of money spent on it, The venue is now popular place for weddings and functions. During a visit I enquired about the old pool and was offered the chance for a quick look. For health and safety reasons I was only able to stand in the doorway. WHAT AN AMAZING SITE apart for a couple of old doors the place was as it was I'm sure when the doors officially closed for the last time. no water in the pool but still a wonderful site to see . THIS NEEDS TO EITHER BE REOPENED As a tour attraction or even as a private swimming club. WDC get your thinking caps on
