About this audio guide
This guide to Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow stands you in front of Salvador Dalí's Christ of Saint John of the Cross and goes back to a quiet Saturday noon in April 1961, when two visitors sat down before it. It follows a painting the city had argued over buying, the museum director who paid for it, and the conservators who work behind doors the public never opens. Best heard standing close to the canvas itself.
