City of Culture, City of Architecture, City of Style, Second City of the Empire - over the years Glasgow has been named many things. There are many facets to Glasgow which is emerging out of its traditional roots in heavy industry - especially ship-building - and embracing the changing nature of being a European City. The largest city in Scotland has a strong history and bright future in fields of culture, architecture, and education.
The city has many museums with the most impressive being the newly refurbished Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum which houses works by Van Gogh, Monet, Cezanne, Rembrandt and Dali amongst many others. A fine variety of architecture marks the city out amongst its peers with its most famous designer being Charles Rennie Macintosh.
Glasgow is also a major centre of education with four universities within a 10 mile radius of the city centre: the 15th century University of Glasgow (which has one of the highest ratios of students who continue living at home in Scotland), the University of Strathclyde, the Glasgow Caledonian University, and the University of Paisley; as well as teacher training colleges, teaching hospitals such as the Glasgow Royal Infirmary, the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, Glasgow School of Art, and ten other colleges.
