Souvenir Guide The Burrell Collection

The world-famous Burrell Collection reopens to the world in the spring of 2021 after a multi-million pound refurbishment. This new guidebook functions as both a memento and a tool for visitors as they peruse the galleries, which house tapestries, stained glass, Chinese art, French paintings, medieval sculpture and much more. It contains key objects and gallery highlights, offering visitors who require it more in depth information about the fantastic collection Sir William Burrell gave to his home city, Glasgow, in 1944. The opening essays illuminate the background story to this huge collection of over 9,000 objects, and touch on the building's history and recent redevelopment. The guidebook reflects the scope of the new galleries, helping to orient visitors further.
