Friends of Glasgow Royal Infirmary Museum
We are a charity formed a few years ago to help celebrate the people and history of Glasgow Royal Infirmary, as well as to promote wellbeing. For this year’s Glasgow Doors Open Days, we are going to explore the theme, ‘Diveristy and Diaspora,’ from the viewpoint of our building, our people, innovation, education and beyond. The museum will be open and there will be an hourly talk exploring the themes. We unfortunately cannot tour the Royal Infirmary Building as it is still a working hospital.
