After visiting Kelvingrove Museum (more to follow), we walked to the Hunterian Art Gallery, a modern building that also has a reconstructed concrete version of the Mackintosh's Glasgow house. In 1920, the Mackintoshes sold their Glasgow home to William Davidson, including all the Mackintosh-designed furniture and fixtures. Following Mr Davidson's death, these were gifted to the University in memory of the Mackintoshes and their father. The principal interiors have been meticulously reassembled and illustrate Mackintosh’s concept of the room as a work of art. A great place to visit and photograph - sorry we didn't discover this before John and Margaret had to return home.
