   I joined the Behind the Scenes Tour and really enjoyed it. Booking was a bit tricky as my email wasn’t answered, but calling worked fine. The tour itself felt flexible and interactive, without a fixed route. It was great to see objects you wouldn’t usually find on display. Overall a good experience.

   Absolute treat. Visited on an hour long tour. Saw various pods with items in. Armour. Vehicles. Egyptian items. World Culture, etc. Fascinating and the guide is very knowledgeable. Specialist tours are available throughout the year. And you can book and request to see certain items. A hidden Glasgow gem.

   It's one of the best tours i have been on. You must prebook a tour using email, but the tours are free, and there are many to choose from. I booked a general tour to see what the museum storage facility was like and believe me i was not disappointed.

   I was astonished by the GMRC. Glasgow stores more than it exhibits. An artist friend of mine was keen to view Ken Currie paintings not on display at the People's Palace. We viewed them on a general tour. However, if we had booked far enough in advance, we were told we could view almost anything we wished to. But, as we booked on the day, we saw several unexpected exhibits Not on exhibition. Eg a zoo's worth of stuffed animals, armour, William Burrell's home's wall fittings, and much more. All in 1 hour. The guides were fab. An additional Glasgow museum could easily be founded exhibiting the items in store. A fine, splendid afternoon.

   Worth a visit, but for single pod , rooms e.g. art or models, taxidermy. General tour was a bit of a rush. Good guide..Billy

   It turns out that Glasgow has it's own relic warehouse where they might even be hiding their own Ark of the Covenant! I would highly recommend visiting the Museums Resource Centre as I went for pre-booked hour session on a Wednesday afternoon but the amount of curious artefacts and catalogued items will not leave you disappointed. Actually, members of the tour group were disappointed as an hour felt far too short to explore but then again the GMRC houses over 1.1 million objects from around the world so doing it all in one afternoon might be a bit of a challenge! It's definitely interesting and our guide was also very accomodating. This hidden hub in Nitshill certainly has a lot to offer!

   I went there as a parent helper, and found myself asking questions ¦~]. Very interesting for the children, just wished it could of been a day trip rather than a morning. Staff were brilliant keeping the children in line and getting them involved.
