Fly to Glasgow to pick up some culture

One of the lesser known gems of Glasgow however is the Burrell Collection. A short drive from the city centre, this collection of art and objects is housed at Pollok Country Park. In 1944, Sir William Burrell and his wife Lady Constance gifted their collection of over 9,000 pieces to the city of Glasgow. An art collector since his teens, Sir William had collected pieces from all over the world and from many different periods of history.

The collection includes works by Degas and Cezanne, Epstein and Rodin as well as ancient Islamic and Chinese works of art. There are pieces of antique furniture and tapestries from Medieval times as well as some ancient structural pieces such as archways built for lords and ladies that have been incorporated into the building.

If you would like to see these works of art as well as taking a trip outside of Glasgow to see the breathtaking scenery why not book a flight now. Easyjet, bmi, flybe and British Airways all fly regularly from all other UK airports to Glasgow.
