The Glasgow School of Art

Reflections on an Art School
The Glasgow School of Art is widely considered to be Mackintosh's Masterwork, designed and built from 1896-1909. Visitors are warmly welcomed to discover Mackintosh's story and our collection of original Mackintosh furniture at The Glasgow School of Art with GSA's award-winning student guides. Due to the recent fire, there will be no access to the interiors of the Mackintosh building whilst restoration work gets underway. There is still plenty for visitors to do and see at The Glasgow School of Art, including a brand new visitor centre, shop and tours with profits from all visitor activities supporting the School.
