The Hunterian Art Gallery is famous for its Whistler and Mackintosh collections and has a wide range of outstanding works on show. It was the first museum in Britain with a gallery of paintings and today the Hunterian Art Gallery holds one of the most distinguished public art collections in Scotland. Works range from Rubens and Rembrandt to the Scottish Colourists and Glasgow Boys, as well as an important collection of works by leading contemporary artists. It also features an outdoor sculpture courtyard with a selection of works by British artists.
Art, natural history and architecture lovers already know, the Macintosh house was stunning and had excellent staff and facilities, the University grounds are like stepping into harry potter, the Huntingdon museum itself had a fine collection of minerals, fossils, art and artefacts. It was great seeing graduates taking pictures in their robes that added to the grand academic atmosphere.
A lovely art gallery that is part of The University of Glasgow. Free to visit, they own a number of Whistler portraits and a number of Glasgow Boys paintings too, and a Rembrandt. Personal favourites are by Joan Eardley and Peploe. The jewel is the Rennie Mackintosh house that is part of the gallery, but which you have to pay to enter. It is well worth the entry fee.
The Hunterian Art Gallery, not to be confused with the Huntarian Museum, has a wide collection of priceless hangings and sculptures, as well as a copy of a Macintosh house. The gallery is free to enter but PS10 per adult (May 2024) to visit the Macintosh House, although there's a free section before you enter the house. In the gallery, gawp at works by Rubens, Whistler, Charles Renee Macintosh, Rembrandt... Not easy to park there, but head to nearby Lilybank Car Park (PS6 for 2 hours) and visit the bars and cafes in Ashton Lane after the art gallery.
Free to enter. The gallery is a part of the university of Glasgow. Worth a visit if you're in the area.
has a sizable collection of art pieces and a very open-ended framing / storytelling of the permanent collection. also got some public programs going on offline and online. glad i came and visited.
We came specifically for the Mackintosh House and were not disappointed. The curation of the exhibit is so engaging, polished and authentic. Took advantage of the thoughtful senior citizen discount. The meticulous reassembly of the house interiors originally from 6 Florentine Terrace is nothing short of stunning. Mainly of interest to architects and design aficionados, the small turn out on that day allowed us to luxuriate in the rooms mostly to ourselves - such a treat! Certainly not to be missed when visiting Scotland.
