Glasgow's oldest house will reopen tomorrow after a huge £1.6m refurbishment.
Provand's Lordship, a museum dedicated to the city's medieval past is to welcome visitors again from Friday.
Duncan Dornan, head of museums and collections for Glasgow Life, said:"This is really a part of allowing the people to value and appreciate the origins of the city."But this is the last tangible link to how people lived when the city was first established."It's really important for the people of Glasgow and visitors to understand the city.
"I worked on the Burrell Collection and his biography, so I knew the input he had to the Provand's Lordship Society and the way he financed what they did."He provided the funding, advice and expertise for the group to get all this amazing Scottish furniture from the 15th-16th century.The building closed in the summer of 2022 so engineers and architects could examine its structure and upgrade any faults.
