This award-winning building contains a unique, internationally famous, collection of art in a beautiful woodland setting. Shipping magnate Sir William Burrell donated his vast collection of over 8,000 objects to Glasgow in 1944.
His interests were worldwide in nature, with a special focus on the arts and crafts of medieval Europe, Oriental art and European paintings. He also bought items from Ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece and Rome. Where else do Chinese bronzes and ceramics spanning five millennia vie for your attention with modern sculpture by Rodin and Epstein and medieval stained glass and tapestries? Major temporary exhibitions and family-friendly events throughout the year.
