Mainly came for the Mackintosh/Macdonald house, which was breathtaking. The gallery itself also had some fine work and interesting pieces. Really enjoyed myself.

We paid to go to the Makintosh house, which was fabulous. So beautiful! It was free to look around the rest of the museum which was also excellent.

Enjoy the free art gallery with some excellent portraits and so forth including a Rembrandt and one of my favourite artists, Johannes Vermeer. But don’t forget to visit the reconstructed house of Charles Rennie Mackintosh with its original CRM designed furniture and fittings which are a joy. Yes you need to pay but it’s only £12 for adults with concession prices for senior citizens of just £8. I promise you it’s worth every penny.

Free to visit, with a very strong collection including works by James McNeill Whistler, pieces from the Glasgow Boys, and also a Rembrandt painting. There is also a good mix of historical artefacts and a large natural history section. The Mackintosh House is part of the gallery but requires a separate ticket. You walk in from the street through the university, and the architecture is really interesting. There is also a unique way some of the pieces and frames are displayed, even including empty frames, which adds something a bit different.

I had been wanting to visit this gallery for some time and was so impressed! It's the perfect size with some beautiful, unique paintings showcasing some of Scotland's finest artists (of which there are many)! I spent approx. 2 hours moseying around before making my way to the Mackintosh House which is adjacent to the art gallery. It is equally impressive, housing lots of original CRM furniture. A lovely male member of staff talked to me about some of the pieces including pointing out some of the stunning, original brass lampshades which originally would have been lit by gas. Highly recommend a visit :-)
