Free art beside the Clyde / GREENOCK

Wyllieum

Discover the work and questioning spirit of George Wyllie alongside a changing exhibition programme in the gallery at Greenock Ocean Terminal. This is a public art space, not a facility reserved for cruise passengers. Give yourself time to look closely and talk about a few works rather than treating it as a quick stop for the building alone.
