Brilliant museum - on the face of it, it's a fairly small exhibition, but in reality it captures a microcosm of Glasgow, frozen in time. The icing on the cake was the interaction with fantastically knowledgeable and engaging staff. A very immersive experience and one of whole heartedly recommend.

Interesting National Trust of Scotland Tenement House with many original features. There are helpful guides in the flat who answer your questions. Nice seating area in front rooms, water , hot drinks and snacks are available too. Young Scots card holders get in for a £1.

A great place to see how people lived back then, but as it's quite small you should expect to wait while other visitors explore the rooms

Fascinating insight into the life of someone who lived in Glasgow back then. Such an interesting visit if you love local history. Volunteers and staff were so so lovely and knowledgeable, I cannot rate them high enough.

This is a wonderful glimpse into life in Glasgow in the early 20th century/late 19th. The different rooms show how a middle class family lived, and how different it was to today.The guides are wonderful and happy to answer questions and give you little insights. The cost is not too high to get in, and just make sure not to touch anything.

Fantastic, really enjoyed looking round this tenement house and stepping back in time to the early 20th century. Very interesting learning about what life was like in Glasgow back then, and about the people that lived there. There's not many rooms but they are so many little details and objects to take in, even her last delivery of coal still sitting there unused. The staff are really friendly and very knowledgeable and gave even more history and happy to answer questions. I would highly recommend stopping in as it only takes about an hour, and for £8.50 which I feel is really good value to help look after this fantastic museum.

A National Trust for Scotland site, so if you're English National Trust members, you also get in for free.Really interesting introduction exhibition downstairs, before going upstairs to see the rooms of the house. Great ambience, and smell due to the gas lighting.You may think you won't spend long here due to only having 4 small rooms to visit, but there's so much detail in those room and the volunteers who work there are so adorably chatty, sharing their stories of life living in or visiting a Tenement House, that you'll end up spending well over an hour here. Great place to visit if you're wanting to learn about local history and culture.

Fantastic bit of Glasgow history. Truly remarkable collection for locals and tourists to enjoy. The staff knowledge is excellent. I had a lovely time chatting with the volunteer Marjorie who clearly had a lot of passion for this exhibition and enhanced the whole experience for me. I will be back to visit again for sure.

We visited on a Saturday and bought tickets at the door. Not too busy, given it was half term and a really nice experience. The information boards explain the history of Glasgow really nicely. Staff were passionate and knowledgeable and answered most of our questions.
