The Burrell Collection is one of the finest civic museum collections in the UK. The collection of around 9,000 objects was assembled by Sir William Burrell (1861-1958) and his wife Constance and generously donated by the couple to the City of Glasgow in 1944.

Although best known for its glorious collection of gothic and early renaissance works of art from Northern Europe, and its significant group of Degas works, it also includes one of the most significant holdings of Chinese art in the UK. Additionally, it is home to an important collection of medieval treasures including stained glass and arms and armour, over 200 tapestries which rank among the finest in the world, and paintings by such celebrated French Impressionists as Manet and Cézanne.

The Burrell Collection is housed in a purpose-built premise in Glasgow’s Pollok Country Park. The building, which has been closed for refurbishment since 2016, will now reopen in March. When it does, you’ll be able to visit all three of its floors, including the museum’s stores; enjoy new immersive and interactive displays; and access new learning and community areas, a refreshed café, indoor picnic areas as well as a bigger shop.
