Cllr McDonald said: "Very happy to confirm that the @PeoplesPalaceGL will be reopening (following recent repairs to internal plasterwork) on the 23rd of February."
Next week's re-opening will mark the first time the museum will be open seven days a week since the pandemic struck.

Glasgow City Council said any valuable plants from the Winter Gardens had been moved to the Botanic Gardens in the city's west end or Queen's Park in the southside.
It said last year: "Following the closure of the Winter
