Glasgow's oldest museum, The Hunterian offers art, science, and historical artefacts.

The University of Glasgow's Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery first opened its doors in 1807. Not only was it Scotland’s first public museum, but it was also the first in Britain with a gallery of paintings. Its founder, Dr William Hunter, was a pioneering obstetrician and teacher and his vast and varied private collection forms the cornerstone of the museum today.

The gallery is famous for its Whistler and Mackintosh collections and has a wide range of 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
