The Mackintosh House, Design museum at Hunterian Art Gallery in Glasgow, United Kingdom.
Description
The Mackintosh House is a reconstructed residence of Scottish designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh, displaying his furniture and architectural details from 1906 to 1914. The rooms are arranged in their original layout and offer insight into how he lived and worked.
History
Mackintosh and his wife Margaret lived in the original house on Southpark Avenue from 1906 until 1914, before it was rescued during demolition in 1960 and rebuilt at the Hunterian Art Gallery. This relocation preserved an important record of his design philosophy for future study.
Culture
The rooms show how Mackintosh integrated artistic thinking into his daily life and used domestic spaces as working studios. You can see how family and creativity existed under the same roof.
Practical
You enter through the Hunterian Art Gallery on Hillhead Street and explore the rooms best with the natural light that filters through original windows. Small group visits are preferred to protect the delicate interiors.
Did you know?
The rooms maintain the exact sequence and orientation of the original house, so visitors walk through the same light conditions as the Mackintosh family did. This carefully preserved spatial arrangement creates an authentic experience of how the spaces actually functioned.
