The Burrell Collections
In the heart of Pollok Country Park, this award-winning building houses a unique collection in a beautiful woodland setting.
The Burrell Collection displays range from work by major artists including Rodin, Degas and Cézanne, to important examples of late medieval art, Chinese and Islamic art, Ancient Civilizations and more.
The collection is named after its donor, the shipping magnate Sir William Burrell. It’s one of the greatest collections ever created by one person, comprising over 8000 objects.
The Burrell regularly hosts temporary exhibitions, and runs an extensive programme of events and activities for both adults and families with children.
The Burrell welcomes children and families, and its location in the beautiful woodland setting of Pollok Park makes it a great place for a family day out.
The museum is full of beautiful objects from all over the world, and our enthusiastic Learning and Access team deliver a busy programme of activities and events especially for children, to help them explore the museum and its wonderful collection in fun and accessible ways.
