Steal style notes on the Mackintosh trail
Born in Glasgow in 1868, the architect, designer, water colourist and artist Charles Rennie Mackintosh has been hugely influential on European design movements, including art nouveau and European symbolism. Get a flavour for his timeless, elegant designs at The Mackintosh House at the Hunterian Art Gallery, a beautiful and meticulous recreation of the interiors of Mackintosh’s Glasgow home. If you want more, the beautiful Mackintosh-inspired House for an Art Lover in Bellahouston Park is another highlight, as is the Mackintosh and the Glasgow Style Gallery at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, which will host a major new exhibition of works by Mackintosh and his contemporaries next year. This exhibition, along with the much-anticipated opening of “Mackintosh at the Willow” on Sauchiehall Street, scheduled for June 2018, form part of the Mackintosh 150th anniversary celebrations.
