Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery
Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University museum and art gallery at University of Glasgow, Scotland
The Hunterian spans multiple buildings across the University of Glasgow campus, presenting collections of scientific instruments, Roman artifacts, and natural history specimens.
William Hunter, a Scottish anatomist, established the foundation for Scotland's oldest public museum through his 1783 bequest of extensive scientific and artistic collections.
The museum exhibits significant collections of Charles Rennie Mackintosh watercolors and maintains reconstructed interiors from his original Glasgow residence within the Mackintosh House.
The museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday through Saturday between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM, and on Sundays from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
The Hunterian houses the largest permanent display of James McNeill Whistler's works worldwide, alongside substantial collections from Captain Cook's Pacific expeditions.
