A splendid collection of artifacts by Rennie MacIntosh, his wife and contemporaries. If possible enquire about the free guided tours. I was fortunate enough to have a PhD student show me around and found the experience much more memorable as a result. More

I love this Gallery. The Whistlers are fabulous and the Mackintosh House is a place you can never tire of. Anyone visiting Glasgow should have The Hunterian on their must do list. More

This would appeal to those who like the type of painting that is displayed but to me they were good but lacking in colour. More

A really interesting little museum tucked away inside Glasgow University. From the insides in jars, to the displays of gemstones and animals and the exhibits about modern medicine, I was intrigued and really enjoyed my visit. An excellent place for curious minds! And entry is free! More
