The Kelvin Hall in Glasgow opened in 1927 and served for a long time as a versatile event arena. It was known for sports events, exhibitions, circuses, and concerts and was considered an important meeting point in the city. It also temporarily housed the Transport Museum and sports facilities. After extensive renovation, the Kelvin Hall was reopened in 2016 as a modern cultural and educational venue. Today, the University of Glasgow, among others, uses the building for research, archives, and publicly accessible collections.

It was founded in 1451 by a papal bull, making it the fourth-oldest university in the English-speaking world. Today, it is a public research university and a member of the Russell Group, an association of leading British universities. The institution has around 38,000–43,000 students from over 140 countries and comprises several colleges, for example for humanities, social sciences, and natural and life sciences. The main campus in Gilmorehill is characterized by neo-Gothic architecture and a distinctive tower. The university played an important role in the Scottish Enlightenment and produced prominent figures, including Adam Smith, James Watt, and Lord Kelvin. Today, it is regularly ranked among the top 100 universities worldwide and is known for its strong research and international focus.

The River Kelvin flows through Kelvingrove Park and significantly shapes its landscape. It originates north of Glasgow and flows into the River Clyde. In the park, it meanders in curves, accompanied by green spaces, paths, and bridges. The Kelvin contributes to the calm, natural atmosphere and provides a habitat for animals such as birds and fish. At the same time, it forms an important recreational area for visitors and connects nature with the urban environment of Glasgow.

The Stewart Memorial Fountain in Kelvingrove Park in Glasgow was erected in 1872 and commemorates Lord Provost Robert Stewart, who drove forward the city's modern water supply. The richly decorated fountain in Neo-Gothic style was designed by James Sellars and created with sculptures by John Mossman. It symbolizes Glasgow's successful supply of clean drinking water from Loch Katrine and thus an important advance for the health of the population. Today it is considered one of the most important monuments in the park.
