Burrell Collection
The Burrell Collection
More than 9,000 objects donated by shipping magnate William Burrell, including Chinese porcelain, medieval tapestries and Impressionist masterpieces.
The Burrell Collection is located in Pollok Park on the city's southern edge. Following a renovation, it reopened in 2022 and won the UK Museum of the Year award. The collection includes Chinese bronzes and ceramics, Islamic art, medieval stained glass and tapestries, and paintings by Degas and Cézanne. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls bring the artworks and the woodland setting together. Admission is free and it is open 10:00 to 17:00, with later openings at 11:00 on Fridays and Sundays. From Glasgow Central, take a train to Pollokshaws West station, then walk about 15 minutes.
