Are you an art lover? Why not come and visit Scotland’s oldest public museum? The Hunterian Art Gallery was founded in 1807, however, it moved from the city centre to the new University of Glasgow buildings in the west end. Their art collections are internationally recognised, with Hunter and Whistler’s collections being some of the most famous. Although, the gallery prides itself on its collections of exclusively Scottish art. These include works like the “Glasgow Boys”, and some by Robin Phillipson.
How can I get to the Hunterian Art Gallery from Glasgow city centre?
The art gallery also has exhibitions throughout the year, some of these include their Mackintosh’s house exhibitions. This is a perfect opportunity to explore some uniquely Scottish designs and art. The Hunterian is located in the heart of the University of Glasgow’s campus, so while visiting the Gallery, there is an opportunity to explore the University and the Hunterian Museum.
