Care is a rich word. Its meanings range from taking care, being prudent, through having something in your care, being responsible, to a deep feeling close to love, caring for someone or about something. There is no doubt that in the latter sense the people of Glasgow care for their art gallery at Kelvingrove. They have always been proud of it and justly so. The jewel in Glasgow's crown, it is one of the finest municipal collections in the UK, but however much it was cared for emotionally, for a long time it looked as though it did not enjoy too much practical care.
