Twilight Tour - Mackintosh at The Hunterian

Go behind-the-scenes in our curator led Twilight Tours at Kelvin Hall, to explore objects and artworks from The Hunterian collection.

Wednesday 10th June, 5.15-6pm. Free but ticketed, please book here .

(Tickets on sale 8th May).

Come behind the scenes to see a selection from The Hunterian’s unique collection of drawings and watercolours by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, plus works by Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh and Frances Macdonald McNair. To preserve them from the damaging effects of light, these delicate items are seldom displayed, so this is a rare opportunity to take a close look at architectural drawings, textile designs, flower studies, and other works by these outstanding Glasgow artists.
