The Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) will keep its doors closed between October 31 and November 14, and the People’s Palace will remain closed in the lead up to and during COP26 for essential maintenance.

In a statement online, Glasgow Life says all dates are inclusive and subject to change as requirements around COP26 and the security operation for the event continue to evolve.

It went on to say: "While COP26 will inevitably impact on city operations and business continuity during the event, it is our intention across the wider venues they have reopened to minimise disruption and operate business as usual as far as possible."
