McLellan Galleries, Exhibition hall and category B listed building in Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, Scotland

The McLellan Galleries feature a notable dome, marble shop front, and polished ashlar stone across three storeys in central Glasgow's commercial district.

Built in 1855 by architect James Smith for £40,000, the galleries housed the Glasgow School of Art from 1869 to 1899 before surviving a major fire in 1986.

The galleries provided temporary housing for Kelvingrove Art Gallery's collection during its renovation from 2003 to 2006, maintaining Glasgow's artistic continuity.

Located at coordinates 55.8657, -4.2635, the exhibition space occupies an entire block with entrances on both Sauchiehall Street and Renfrew Street.

The building incorporates cast-iron columns with Renaissance capitals and an eight-bay extension that connects to the rear section on Renfrew Street.
