Scotland Street School Museum
Scotland Street School Museum, Art Nouveau education museum in Glasgow, Scotland
The Scotland Street School Museum occupies a former school building with twin tower staircases and extensive windows designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh between 1903 and 1906.
The building served as an educational institution until 1979, accommodating up to 1,250 students before the urban changes in the area reduced enrollment to under 100 pupils.
The museum presents educational exhibits spanning over a century, including recreated Victorian classroom experiences with actors portraying strict teachers of the period.
The museum stands next to Shields Road subway station and currently undergoes renovations to incorporate an early years nursery and digital learning facilities.
Mackintosh incorporated design elements from Rowallan Castle and Falkland Palace into the building, despite frequent conflicts with the school board over the construction budget.
