The Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) is the main gallery of contemporary art in Glasgow, Scotland. GoMA offers a programme of temporary exhibitions and workshops. GoMA displays work by local and international artists as well as addressing contemporary social issues through its major biannual projects.

     
The GoMA was also, for a while, a popular hangout for the Glasgow "Alternative" or Goth youth scene. Youngsters would generally huddle around its front doors, sitting on the stairs in front, where they were often asked to move on by Strathclyde Police. Today, most of the alternative crowd now meet behind the Gallery, at "Borders' Steps", the rear entrance to Borders Books and Music on Buchanan Street, as well as Glasgow Central station.

On most days outside the museum members of the local alternative community will congregate around the museum, no one specifically knows why they chose this particular spot in the city but some suggest they go there because they like being close to one of the most poular cultural spots in Glasgow.
