Glasgow

Burrell Collection

When Sir William Burrell gifted his collection of over 9,000 works of art to the people of Glasgow in 1944, the city acquired one of the greatest collections created by one person. His mammoth treasure trove is made up of a vast array of works from all over the world and every century. Medieval art, tapestries, alabasters, stained glass and English oak furniture sits alongside European paintings, Islamic art, and modern sculptures by Epstein and Rodin. Opened in 1983, the purpose built light and airy building is itself stunning. This is a collection not to be missed.
