What is recorded here
Glasgow Green holds a nineteenth-century People's Palace Museum, built when ordinary citizens wanted knowledge without waiting for permission. The palace stands beside open grass where workers, children and scholars mixed under the same sky. Its rooms and gardens suggest a city proud enough to teach itself, and generous enough to teach others.
