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.

EXIT is a fully operating DIY, independent and artist run club and arts space which was opened in September 2023. The building on Maxwell St was once home to Fury Murry’s in the late 80s and 90s, and then repurposed into a strip club. The space has a lot of character, with the majority of the strip club interiors remaining largely intact. EXIT has a strong DIY ethos, platforming and growing the local scene and creative community here in Glasgow.
