Exploring Museums and Art Galleries in Scotland with Intermezzo
Claire McLeod
One of the most enjoyable ways to visit a museum or art gallery is in the evening when you and your guide have the whole building to yourselves.
If you are visiting Glasgow you can achieve this by contacting Intermezzo Productions run by Clare Macleod. Intermezzo arranges private visits to several Glasgow Museums and Galleries including Kelvingrove Art Gallery.
An explanation of Clare’s work is our featured Luxury Scotland newsletter article for January.
