The Burrell Collection

The Burrell Collection, held by many to be one of the world's finest private art collections, was founded in 1983 and donated by industrialist Sir William Burrell to the City of Glasgow. It includes everything from Chinese porcelain to paintings by Renoir and Cézanne. Various happenings occur throughout the year.
