Burrell Collection, Art museum in Pollok Country Park, Glasgow, United Kingdom
The museum displays over 9,000 artifacts including paintings, tapestries, sculptures, weapons, stained glass, ceramics, and objects from ancient civilizations in a modern building.
William Burrell, a shipping magnate, collected thousands of artworks during his global travels and donated his entire collection to Glasgow in 1944.
The collection features works by Degas, Cézanne, and Rodin, alongside Chinese Tang dynasty porcelain, medieval European artifacts, and pieces from ancient Egypt.
The museum maintains free admission, opens Monday through Thursday from 10:00 to 17:00, and provides guided tours focusing on specific art categories.
The building incorporates architectural elements from Hutton Castle, including a 16th-century archway at the entrance and three reconstructed rooms.
