This flat has been kept intact. The lady who lived in it kept all her belongings for years, and there is SO much to see. Well worth a visit. More

It is only made up of a few rooms so we found it rather expensive for the amount on display More

Took a trip to Glasgow and visited the Tenement House as we'd heard about it from friends who gushed over it. Was a little sceptical as to what was in store. Needn't have worried. This little flat is just fabulous (if you like that sort of thing). It was donated to the National Trust who have "tweeked" it a little,... More

I have been a member of the National Trust for Scotland for years and always find my membership great value. I have visited the tenement house on a couple of occasions and I am always very impressed. The staff (as always with NTS) were very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. The place itself is well presented and you really do learn... More

A little out of the way from other attractions, but we really enjoyed seeing the inside of this building. When we went, we were the only ones there so we spent a lot of time with the woman inside the apartment asking questions. This was a middle class tenement - it would be nice if ever possible to see the... More

Interesting tenement house restored to how it was in the old days. Worth a look if you are interested in history. Good to show the kids how their ancestors lived. More

I visited the Tenement House on Open Doors day in Glasgow but unfortunately it is one of the only places I visited in the city that did not take part so I had to pay a fee which I think was around £7 - £8 which I think is quite a lot for such a small museum, however I do... More

The Tenement House is a must see attraction in Glasgow. Although you have to pay to see it (unlike council funded museums in Glasgow which are free!) it is definitely worth the money. Not only are you transported back to see exactly what a tenement would look like in terms of décor and household appliances on offer, but you are... More

Having grown up in the south of England in the 50's, the image I had of a Glasgow tenement was one of total squalor. Slum living at its worst. The truth is so different. From the outside the tenement buildings are smart. Four stories of dressed sandstone with bay windows from top to bottom. The insides were configured in a... More
