You're standing at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, on the edge of Kelvingrove Park in Glasgow's West End. Start with the stone. The whole building is clad in red sandstone from Locharbriggs. The style is known as Spanish Baroque, with turrets of every shape and size and a richly decorated façade. Much of the sculpture on the building was produced under the sculptor George Frampton.
