Kelvingrove first opened its doors to the public on 2 May 1901 when it formed a major part of the Glasgow International Exhibition. Its collections came mainly from the McLellan Galleries and from the City Industrial Museum, which had been opened in the former Kelvingrove Mansion in 1870. The initial money for the building came from the profits of the International Exhibition of 1888, which was held in Kelvingrove Park.
