The Mackintosh House

Part of the Hunterian Art Gallery within the University of Glasgow precincts in the West End, the Mackintosh House has a recreation of the main interiors from Charles Rennie and Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh's actual house which once stood nearby in Southpark Avenue. It looks as close to the original as possible in terms of decorations, fixtures and furniture while on the outside it looks like a late 19th century end terrace house with Art Deco elements trying to burst out of a concrete motorway pillar, shored up with an embankment of setts. Whether you find the historically and aesthetically important interior to be the primary attraction here, or the brutalist dream state exterior, there's a great deal to engage the visitor.
