Sir Billy Connolly exhibition coming to Glasgow’s Kelvingrove in 2027

A Glasgow Life spokesperson said: “We’re very excited to be working on this fabulous exhibition for the city.

“What could be better than celebrating a Scottish national treasure, Sir Billy Connolly, in Glasgow’s very own treasure trove, Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum?

“We look forward to sharing more details soon about the opening date and what you’ll get to see in the exhibition.”

In March the museum’s Jane Rowlands said Connolly, widely regarded as one of the greatest comedians of all time, was the obvious choice to present a personal guide to the art gallery.

She said: “We weren’t looking for facts and figures about the building or our collections.

“We were looking to hear his memories and it comes across with such personality and he speaks about the place with such fondness that you can’t help but be engaged by it.”

The comedian was knighted in 2017 for services to entertainment and charity.
