There was no Kelvingrove Museum, but there was the beginnings of what would eventually become the museum collection.

Over 57,000 people have viewed the Linda McCartney Retrospective since it opened in July. The exhibition, curated by Paul, Mary and Stella McCartney, will close this Sunday 12 January.
Linda’s daughter Mary McCartney, who visited the exhibition yesterday, said: “I never tire of seeing my mum’s work as it has been a constant source of inspiration for my own photography. Seeing it for the first time at Kelvingrove in Glasgow, however, was such a poignant experience for me. The way the work presents itself in such an extraordinary building and the enthusiasm and knowledge of the staff has made it such a special memory for me.”
Don't miss your chance to see the exhibition before it ends this Sunday at 5pm!

Venus Disarming Cupid goes on display, post 4
The restored sculpture is now on show in the Looking at Art gallery in Kelvingrove Museum, we hope you agree it looks striking.
This short series of images provides a brief insight into the conservation of a 3D object. At Glasgow Museums we care deeply about protecting the items in our care for future generations to enjoy. Although the techniques may be different we hope this delve behind the scenes will encourage everyone to look at objects on display in a new way and consider the work carried out to prepare them for show.
Throughout 2020 a series of short workshops and talks on the sculpture will be given at Kelvingrove Museum, we will post details of these events on Facebook nearer the time.
Just a reminder that our New Year opening hours can be found here https://bit.ly/2YWupTW.

Behind the scenes - conserving Venus Disarming Cupid, post 3
In Roman mythology, the Goddess Venus’ son Cupid creates chaos with his arrows, which cause their targets to fall blindly in love. This sculpture shows Venus, a loving mother keeping Cupid’s arrow just out of his reach.
The first image shows how lasers were used to find the correct angle needed to attach the missing pieces to the sculpture. The second shows one of 16 holes that were carefully drilled to allow eight fibreglass rods to be inserted into the sculpture, holding the conserved and reconstructed fragments in place.
These photographs highlight the important behind-the-scenes work our conservators’ undertake on our world-class collection to prepare an object for display.
We hope you had a lovely Christmas, not long until we welcome in a new year.
We wanted to share our festive opening hours.
Museums, with the exception of GMRC, will be open as normal from Fri 27 to Mon 30 Dec.
We will then close on Tues 31 Dec, Wed 1 and Thurs 2 Jan, reopening Fri 3 Jan 2020.

Bringing Venus Disarming Cupid back to Life, post 2
After 100 years on display the sculpture became dirty. As well as needing a clean, repairs were required. The figure of Cupid was without a head and Venus was missing her right arm holding an arrow. Without these parts, it was impossible to understand the image.
Brandon Hamer, a conservation student from Durham University, found fragments which had become separated. This made reconstruction possible in keeping with conservation ethics and principles and practice for stone and sculpture preservation standards. Comparisons with another version of the image in the collection of the Staatsgallerie Stuttgart, Germany, meant he was able to reconstruct the missing pieces and re-assemble the Glasgow version.
Venus’ missing lower arm and arrow were accurately modelled in wax, then cast in plaster, refined and re-integrated completing the image.
Venus Disarming Cupid - a conservation story
We’re often asked how we clean and repair objects in our care if they become dirty or damaged over time. We’ve recently redisplayed a sculpture from the 1840s by Ludwig von Schwanthaler called ‘Venus Disarming Cupid’, you can see it in the Looking at Art gallery in Kelvingrove Museum.
In a series of short posts over the coming days we will share a little about the conservation work that was undertaken by our team.
The piece was first exhibited in a major art exhibition in the mid-19th century, where it was celebrated by the public and in the newspapers of the day. We hope you will enjoy the beauty, quality and lifelike character of the conserved marble sculpture.
We hope you had a lovely Christmas, not long until we welcome in a new year.

Glasgow Merchants’ Investment in Purple
The profits from Scottish-owned plantations in the West Indies that used enslaved men, women and children were returned to Scotland and invested in industries here rather than helping to develop their local Caribbean communities. One such area that profited was Glasgow’s burgeoning dye industry.
