The Mackintosh House at the Hunterian is the meticulously reconstructed interior of the Glasgow home of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and his wife, the artist, Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh just a few hundred metres from where the original home once stood. After the Mackintoshes left Glasgow in 1914 the house and contents were sold to the Davidson family. The University of Glasgow later purchased the house in 1946 from them who subsequently gifted all the original furniture. Today you can stroll through the hall, dining room, studio-drawing room and main bedroom and marvel at Mackintosh’s distinctive style while enjoying virtually the same views and experiencing the same light as the man himself.
