The Burrell Collection is open usual hours from Saturday 28 October. Entry is free and drop in - no ticket required.
Fantastic museum! 6,000 objects on display out of the total of 9,000 objects. Quite a variety of art of various sorts, historical objects, works by well known masters, and more. Very extensive collection. Plus the building itself is very interestingly designed and very enjoyable to walk around as you view the museum pieces. Plus it's in a park where you can see Hyland Cattle and get in a nice walk if you'd like. All together I spent 6 hours and enjoyed all of it.
Very interesting collection of eclectic items ranging from paintings and pottery to furniture and weapons. Entrance is free however you have to pay to park. Currently, the parking tariff is PS5 for 4 hours and can be paid either in cash or by using the RingGo app. At first this feels like a short amount of time but is ample for taking in all there is to see and do. There are also a couple of cafes inside serving similar menus. These are better catered to more adult tastes and lacks choice for children's meals.
Fabulous day out for the whole family! - No wonder they won Museum of the Year! Well done!! Eclectic collection is arranged in a very accessible way, visitors are invited to linger in the rooms with ample seats and great videos adding to the experience. Excellent consideration for children, and for visitors who are visually impaired etc. My personal favourites were the introduction video to the archives and storage ( in the basement level, near coffee shop) and the Wagner carpet video which really brought the paradise garden to life in 3D, neither in my shots here so you have to go and see those in person! The only thing that could be improved is signposting from public transport. Have now visited twice after the reopening, first walking from the Hop On Hop Off bus stop which is about 10min walk away, lovely walk through the forest but poor GPS signal / connection with my mobile operator so couldn't rely on the phone for navigation and dog walkers were far and few in between. This week we took the train to West Pollokshields and our GPS signal was not great here either so clear signage to the correct station exit etc would have been great, we ended up taking the longer route which didn't matter to us but might make it difficult for other visitors. B But all in all a wonderful day- thank you very much.
Wonderful museum full of treasures. Very eclectic collection. The building is a joy to traverse. Parking a little awkward to find and you need coins to pay in the machine, so that was a little disappointing but not the fault of the museum. Would gladly visit again.
It is too good to have a free entrance! Great collection of arts surpassed only by an intelligent narrative that makes one think and enjoy even more. Family friendly, with amazing light, and just about right not to get bored. A place to come back to many, many times.
We went on a wet Sunday since it was reopened. Collection was well curated with very accessible info by the art works. There is an interesting variety of exhibits ( paintings old masters and impressionists, some sculpture including Rodin and some Chinese art snd sculpture)based on the tastes of Burrel. The Degas exhibition was on when we went too which was very good with some wonderful art and fascinating history of how the works needed up in Scotland - but busy. Cafe food was good too. Good day out.
