The Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery
At the heart of the University of Glasgow since 1807, The Hunterian connects people with stories, individuals and ideas found in stunning collections of objects, belongings and artworks. The Hunterian Museum features outstanding Roman artefacts from the Antonine Wall; vast natural and life science collections; scientific instruments used by James Watt, Joseph Lister and Lord Kelvin; one of the world’s greatest collections of coins and medals and objects and belongings brought to Glasgow from around the world during hundreds of years of trade, empire, exploitation and migration. The Hunterian Art Gallery is famous for its Whistler and Mackintosh collections and has a wide range of outstanding works on show, from Rubens and Rembrandt to the Scottish Colourists and Glasgow Boys. It also features important works by leading contemporary artists, an outdoor sculpture courtyard with a selection of works by British artists and the Mackintosh House, the reassembled interiors from the Glasgow home of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh. The Hunterian Zoology Museum is also part of The Hunterian.
