Charles Rennie Macintosh
The University of Glasgow owns the world's largest collection of work by Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Much of this is housed in the Reconstructed Charles Mackintosh House within The Hunterian Art Gallery.
The Hunterian Art Gallery holds a remarkable collection of European art. The founding collection of Dr William Hunter includes outstanding paintings by Rembrandt, Koninck, Chardin and Stubbs. Unrivalled holdings of work by James McNeill Whistler include paintings, pastels and prints.
A popular feature of the Charles Rennie Mackintosh collection is the reconstruction of the interiors of The Mackintosh House. There are major displays of paintings by the Scottish Colourists, Fergusson, Peploe, Cadell and Hunter. The graphics collection, one of the most important in Scotland, hold some 30,000 prints.
