THE BURRELL COLLECTION : A MODERN, GREENER MUSEUM

G&T is privileged to have led a team of consultants on the major refurbishment of The Burrell Collection, a Category A Listed museum that originally opened to international acclaim in 1983 as one of the first demonstrations of Glasgow’s commitment to cultural-led regeneration.

Sir William Burrell devoted more than 75 years of his life to amassing one of the world’s greatest personal art collections which is housed within this architecturally significant museum building in Pollok Country Park. The collection includes 9,000 objects in total spanning 6,000 years of history, featuring Chinese pottery and porcelain, paintings by renowned French artists including Manet, Cézanne and Degas, Medieval treasures and over 200 tapestries and carpets, which are among the finest in the world.
