Kelvingrove.

Kelvinhall isn't actually a place, no thanks to the subway for causing confusion by naming one of their stations after an area that doesn't exist. We do have Kelvinhaugh nearby, but that's named because it's a haugh (riverside alluvial land); and we have the Kelvin Hall nearby, which was one of the cities' major sports arenas. However, apart from that subway station at Partick Cross (which is what the station should be called imo), there's no such place as kelvinhall. The Kelvingrove art gallery and museum is in the area known as Kelvingrove.

(The Kelvin area names: Kelvingrove, Kelvinhaugh, Kelvinside, North Kelvinside and Kelvindale).

Nice photo by the way. Most people seem to take photos of the other side of the building, but this is the better side imo.
