The Doulton Fountain in Glasgow Green, built in 1888, and the world's largest terracotta fountain, with the People's Palace museum behind.

Set in the city's oldest park, Glasgow Green, is the solid orange stone People's Palace. It is an impressive museum of social history, telling the story of Glasgow from 1750 to the present through creative, inventive family-friendly displays. The palace was built in the late 19th century as a cultural center for Glasgow's East End.
