The Tenement House

Musée | Glasgow | Scotland | Royaume Uni

La maison de cour à Glasgow est un musée fascinant qui offre un aperçu authentique de la vie dans une maison de location de Glasgow au début du 20ème siècle. Le bâtiment est un exemple bien conservé des conditions de vie typiques de cette époque et représente une capsule temporelle qui documente la vie quotidienne de la ville. L'histoire de Miss Agnes Toward, une sténotypiste qui a vécu dans la maison de 1911 à 1965, est particulièrement remarquable. Elle a conservé de nombreux objets personnels qui sont aujourd'hui au cœur de l'exposition. Cette collection donne un aperçu intime de la vie d'une femme indépendante de cette époque.

Le musée se compose de quatre pièces qui ont été soigneusement restaurées pour préserver l'atmosphère de l'époque. Les expositions vont des meubles et ustensiles ménagers aux détails curieux comme un pot de confiture datant de 1929. Les installations d'origine comme le poêle à charbon reflètent le standard de l'époque dans les foyers et sont également particulièrement remarquables.

La maison de cour offre aux visiteurs la possibilité de découvrir la vie des classes ouvrières et des classes moyennes de l'époque. Grâce aux détails intimes de l'exposition, qui reflètent également les défis de la vie au début du 20ème siècle, les visiteurs peuvent se plonger dans le contexte historique. De plus, le rôle des femmes à cette époque est mis en lumière, rendant l'exposition particulièrement pertinente.

This is a really interesting place to visit if you want to learn more about how a normal Glaswegian lived a hundred years ago. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. The gift shop is small but has a nice selection of things that are a wee bit different to a lot of the standard tourist shops. This is also a cool place to visit if you're Scottish , bring an older relative for maximum nostalgia points, or understand what your tenement looked like before it got 50 layers of landlord white paint on it.

It was a good experience. During august Bank holiday weekend. The ladies there are so informative on the tenement house. There are toilets. There does not seem to be a lift to the front door. Enquire before you arrive.

Apt frozen in 1935 with original from when Agnes and her daughter lived there. 30 minute walk from city center. I got on the 2nd time (9/21) I went on the same day. When I went the first time in the morning, the lady sent me away because I hadn’t booked a ticket. She told me that likely it would be the same tomorrow (unlikely to get in). When I went back to the hotel, I went on the Tenement house website, it literally says “ There is no need to book in advance to visit us - we look forward to welcoming you soon to the Tenement House.” Determined to see the museum on this day since I had free time, I walked 1 1/2 miles back. The same woman was there who turned me down that morning. She said she remembered me and that I could come in. What has changed? I also could not find any way to book a visit on their website. It’s worth seeing but not worth it if you don’t know for sure whether or not you’ll get in.
