The People’s Palace has opened its doors to the public once again.
The much-loved Glasgow Green museum had been shut for a vital repair programme since December, 2018.
The adjoining Winter Gardens glasshouse will remain closed due to health and safety issues.
The historical tourist hot-spot has had a £350k revamp during its upgrade, and now boasts a new cafe and retail space on the ground floor, access to public toilets and a fire escape.

School groups will also now be able to access a new purpose-built packed lunch area on the top floor, replacing the former space available within the Victorian glasshouse.
Councillor David McDonald, Chair of Glasgow Life, said: ‘The People’s Palace is just that; it’s the official residence of the stories, the images, and the memories of the people of our great city, entertaining and informing Glaswegians with displays of how we lived, worked and played in years gone by.
"The People’s Palace collection belongs to Glaswegians and we’re glad they will continue to enjoy access to it."
The current repair bill for the Winter Gardens is estimated to be between £5 - 7.5 million and the council is currently considering options for future uses, but no decisions have been made.
A range of activities and workshops will be offered at the People’s Palace across spring and summer.
