The Burrell Collection
About The Burrell Collection
Description
The Burrell Collection is a major art museum in Pollok Country Park on Glasgow’s south side. The collection includes art, antiquities, decorative objects, ceramics, stained glass, tapestries, and paintings gathered by Sir William Burrell and now displayed in a purpose-built museum setting.
This is one of Glasgow’s best museum stops for travelers who want a mix of art, design, history, and parkland in one visit. Because it sits inside Pollok Country Park, it works especially well as a half-day outing with time for the museum, woodland walks, and nearby Pollok House or park trails.
Visitor Context
