Description:

The Bathhouse is a new visual arts centre in Glasgow's Merchant City. It is the first venture of The Modern Institute a commercial gallery, run by Toby Webster.

The principal gallery space has a glass external door and passers-by will be able to see the exhibits. The offices and workshop will provide modern facilities for the Institute's employees and artists, including the 2009 Turner Prize award winner Richard Wright.

Current status:

Completed March 2010.
