Website | EmailAny fans of Mackintosh will love this building, for it is easily the best example of his architecture in Glasgow. The art school was established in 1845 but has only been at the current site since 1899. Mackintosh was a former pupil and he designed this architectural masterpiece in 1896. The construction is marked by oppositions, wide windows and stern facades contrast in a dynamic style. Although everyone can gaze freely at the stunning exterior, guided tours offer the only access to the interior. Here you can admire yet more Mackintosh creations; plans, paintings and furniture are all on display.
