Glasgow is famous for its collection of wonderful museums and art galleries. The Burrell Collection is the city’s most famous and popular tourist attraction, drawing hundreds and thousands of visitors each year.
Sir William Burrell (1861-1958) gave his marvellous art collection to the city of Glasgow in 1944. John Meunier, Brit Anderson and Barr Gasson were responsible for the design of the modern gallery which was opened by the Queen in 1983. From magical artefacts dating back as far as the Bronze Age and much more, the Burrell Collection will certainly amaze you.
The Burrell is located on the south side of the city in the middle of Pollok Country Park. It’s easy enough to get to by public transport.
By Train: take the train at Central Station to Pollokshaws West Station. Here you’ll see signposts for the short walk to the park.
By Bus: take bus numbers 45, 47, 48 and 57 to Pollokshaws Road. (more…)
