Explore the gallery, discover its fascinating history, and enjoy a mini-show featuring three of Sharmanka’s captivating kinetic sculptures. We will be running approximately 20 visit slots, 30 minutes each in duration. Overview: SHARMANKA is one of the most popular and unique attractions in Glasgow. It has been entertaining and enthralling its audiences for over three decades since the original opening in 1989. Sharmanka features an extensive collection of kinetic (moving) sculptures assembled from found objects, beautiful scrap and exquisitely hand carved characters. Each one of these ‘kinemats’ is fused with synchronised soundtrack and bespoke lighting design. The artworks are layered with cross-cultural stories and mesmerising visuals loved across all generations. TRONGATE 103 and our venue is fully accessible. Sharmanka’s space (on the 1st floor accessible by lift) is all on one level, however we have a limited space in our theatre so booking of wheelchair space as part of the visit is essential.
