Glasgow School of Art
Glasgow School of Art Review
The exterior and interior, structure, furnishings, and decoration of this art nouveau building, built between 1897 and 1909, form a unified whole, reflecting the inventive genius of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, who was only 28 years old when he won the competition for its design. Architects and designers from all over the world come to admire it. Book ahead for daily guided tours, which cost £8.75 and begin at 11 and 3 (sometimes more frequently in the summer). Otherwise, you can visit four galleries that host frequently changing exhibitions. A visitor center has a small Mackintosh exhibition and sells a good selection of prints, postcards, and books.
