Mackintosh Exhibition

The man, the masterpiece

“The building was always
intended to be built.”

Graham Roxburgh, Consulting Engineer

Designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh in 1901 but only completed almost a century later, we invite you to explore this architectural marvel, a faultless fusion of Art Nouveau, intricate design and symbolic motifs.

Learn about why the building was initially designed and how, finally, unwavering dreams and sheer determination brought the House for an Art Lover that we know and love today to this incredible city.

The Mackintosh Exhibition Tour takes you on a fascinating journey through time, beyond the building and into the mind of a genius.
