Pollok Museum

THE POLLOK MUSEUM (GLASGOW)

If you're a fan of the Yank dripper: Jackson Pollock - why not visit the Pollock museum, in Wisconsin?

If you're a fan of Scots singer: Lulu(pic) - why not visit The Pollok museum in Pollok ?

(Don't confuse the two, cos they're not the same).


Pollok museum in Pollok, seems to be almost entirely devoted to the time just before local girl: Lulu, hit the big time.

The displays feature some old programmes for gigs in places like church-dance-halls - In Pollok - with a few ticket stubs and other artefacts thrown in...and a hell of a lot of photos of Lulu...........

....but then you think "Hang on she's not local - Isn't she from the East-End? Lulu?

Yeah...she is. But her backing band, were from Pollok and that's good enough(it seems)  for the exhibits manager at Pollok Museum --  Local celebs: two accordionists, a drummer and Lulu.

Certainly worth a visit, if you're visiting the Health Centre(Pollok), which is in the same Community building, as the museum - very nice.

They also have a Bistro in there, that seems mainly to do the traditional Glasgow fried sausage/onion combo, in a bun, that isn't really a bun, more just a random lump of dough, dark brown exterior, no real interior (or butter)...but I shouldn't scoff (and I didn't) - I bypassed The Bistro and sat myself down in the waiting room, with  the rest of the halt and lame and decrepit.

... And you just sit there - inhaling away - in the sausage/onion  reeking, fugged up, Doctor's waiting room...
It's great :) ...no-one seemed bothered - So neither was I.

Economy sausages they were, budget stretchers - I could tell - fried in Lard...right beside the Health Centre waiting room entrance.

So, why not get yourself down and check it out? - You won't be disappointed.

I can't comment on the Jackson Pollock museum in Wisconsin.
(I expect it's shit).
