The People's Palace and Winter Gardens houses a collection of historical artefacts, photographs, prints and film giving an insight into how Glaswegians lived, worked and played from the 18th to the 20th Century. The Winter Gardens and the highly decorative five-tier Doulton fountain outside are both wonderful. The fountain was designed to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee in 1887 and was originally displayed at the 1888 International Exhibition in Kelvingrove Park.
