Glasgow Doors Open Days Festival: Creative Showcase at Goethe-Institut Glasgow

Explore our historic building: 

The premises of the Goethe-Institut Glasgow were designed in 1857 by Glasgow architect Charles Wilson. They are a remarkable example of mid-19th century architecture, featuring a series of terraced Italianate townhouses in a grand oval shape. Our lounge and our garden are peaceful places for a rest. 

“Park Circus is a remarkable thing, a Roman piazza on a Scottish hilltop. Its balanced mass, its strong and simple decoration, make a lasting impression of magnificence." J.M. Reid: "Glasgow"
