The Burrell Collection is marking its one year anniversary after reopening following a major £68m refurbishment in 2022.

The world-class museum, located within Glasgow’s Pollok Country Park, has welcomed over 600,000 people since reopening on March 29 last year.

The redesign was created in collaboration with over 15,000 people from the local community.

The reopening marked the beginning of a new chapter for the museum with the inaugural exhibition, The Burrells’ Legacy: A Great Gift to Glasgow, having launched in August.

If you are attending the 2023 ICOM UK Conference in Glasgow on Monday 17 April, make sure you sign up for one of the guided museum or city tours on Tuesday 18 April (details will be sent to attendees on Thursday 6 April), or make time for an independent visit to The Burrell Collection or one of Glasgows many museums and galleries.
