Hunterian Art Gallery

It can be seen as one of the Secret Spots You Have To See In London. The Hunterian is a group of museums that are housed in Glasgow, Scotland, and run by the University of Glasgow. It is Scotland's oldest museum. It covers the Hunterian Museum, Hunterian Art Gallery, Mackintosh House, Zoology Museum, and Anatomy Museum, all of which are housed in different structures on the university's main campus in Glasgow's west end.

The Gallery is presently located in a cutting-edge, specially constructed space that is a component of the vast Glasgow University Library complex and was created by William Whitfield. This comprises an outdoor sculpture garden and the enormous art collection owned by the university. Eduardo Paolozzi, an artist, created the Hunterian Gallery's bas relief aluminum doors. The collection of the gallery has a sizable number of James McNeill Whistler's pieces as well as the majority of Charles Rennie Mackintosh's watercolors.

After renovations, the Hunterian Art Gallery reopened in September 2012 with the exhibit Rembrandt, Rembrandt and the Passion. Three significant Mackintosh exhibitions have been staged at the gallery: Architecture (2014), Travel Sketches (2015), and Unbuilt (2018). The gallery has also held two exhibitions based on its Whistler collection: Watercolors (2013) and Art and Legacy (2018).
