Lost Cinemas of Glasgow: Architecture and Society
The Glad Cafe
Tue 29 Sept – Mon 26 Oct
Subject to opening hours
FREE
This exhibition of Southside cinema buildings offers a unique insight into how cinemas once played an influential role in everyday Glaswegians’ lives. The fates of Glasgow’s 160 former cinema buildings range from demolition and dereliction to transformation; today functioning at times in new social roles, yet holding memories of a forgotten past. This exhibition is a special Southside selection of historical cinemas which serves as a poignant reminder of the absence of a cinema building in Glasgow’s Southside.
Thanks to Glasgow City Heritage Trust.
