Had a wonderful time at the museum and joined an informative, engaging guided tour. The guide was very passionate and shared fascinating history about the building, the owners of the artifacts, and interesting stories behind several exhibits and paintings. I really enjoyed the experience. Since it was Christmas time, there was a live orchestral performance during lunchtime, which added a special touch and was clearly enjoyed by many visitors.

Loved visiting the Burrell Collection! Amazing mix of art and history in a really modern space, and it’s right in the middle of beautiful Pollok Park. Great place to wander and relax. The museum is well-designed and maintained with a hint of interactivity for kids. The staff is friendly and has some fun worksheets for kids.

The Burrell Collection, nestled within the Pollock Country Park, is a must-visit destination in Glasgow. Not only is it free, but it’s also a beautifully renovated museum with a modern design. The museum’s layout is expertly crafted, featuring a free-flowing route that takes visitors through a diverse collection of artifacts from around the world. Among the impressive collection are paintings by renowned artists like Degas and Cezanne, as well as many others. The Burrell Collection offers a truly captivating experience, allowing visitors to spend time exploring its rich and diverse exhibits. Highly recommended, the Burrell Collection is worth a detour from your usual route. The park has ample parking, and if you’re commuting, a shuttle bus service connects the museum to the bus or train station.

Wonderful family outing. It is free to enter but you need to pay for parking which there was plenty of. There is a wide diversity of items in the collection. From antiquities of Egypt, Greece and China to artists such as Rodin, Degas and Cezzane. There are interactive videos for young ones. Plenty of space on the grounds for a picnic or there is a restaurant available inside. Large play area by the parking for little ones as well.
