the glasgow school of art

这其实并不是我一定要做的事情。但是当我们看见这附近的建筑和美丽的细节的时候我们就发现这真是一趟不虚此行的旅行。这的家具非常棒,全都是精挑细选的上档之作。我们还在这吃午餐,看见这的美丽装潢设计真是美轮美奂,绝对值得一来。

这次旅行是专门去参观著名建筑师和设计师麦金托什的家具收藏的。你也可以去参观格拉斯哥艺术学院,它也是由麦金托什设计的。导游是正在该学院就读或是已经毕业的学生,也能让你了解到该校学生的生活。导游们都很有风度,而且懂的很多,很有趣。

我去游览过很多Frank Lloyd Wright的景点,遍布美国各处,所以来到格拉斯哥(Glasgow),我必须要看一下他的当代艺术。作为一所艺术院校,参观都是由学生带领的,走廊和工作区也都是学生在工作,展出自己的艺术。总的来说,缺少一点麦金托什(Mackintosh)这样的创造者。不过你所能看到的还是会给你深刻印象——特别是图书馆。这里还有一些不错的家具收藏。我们的导游很有趣,懂得也多。另外,如果出于某种原因,你们团队里有人不想去游览,那礼品店里工作的学生会很愿意告诉他茶馆在哪里的,就在拐角处!、

这里是由英国艺术大师Charles Rennie Macintosh设计的,现在这里已经变成了一所艺术学校和博物馆。这里是Macintosh作品的杰出代表,同时可以看到格拉斯哥的壮美天际线。这里靠近书店,还有个房间收藏了Macintosh设计的家具。这里并不是你想象中典型的完美博物馆,就收藏品数量也无法与Oak Park的Frank Lloyd Wright艺术室相比,同时要注意的是里面有3、4层楼梯需要爬上爬下。最后我们了解了很多关于Macintosh及其作品,总的来说,我们觉得此次参观很值得。

这一直是我不可不看的景点之一。在一个潮湿的雨天,我们出发开始了旅行。我们的导游汉娜超棒,使得旅行变得很有趣。图书馆是一个亮点,是个很迷人的建筑,值得一去。

Sadly this lovely School of Art burned down not long before the end of term last year- it was devastating but the news is it will be rebuilt as it was.Since you will have to wait sometime to visit the rebuilt Art school, you can still visit House for an Art Lover in Bellahouston park for some fine examples of CRM design.

Unfortunately not open to public after the fire but just over the road is the new building and you can arrange a tour which includes a walk outside the old School of art with very interesting explanations by our guide ( a student of architecture). It was like private tour, just the 2 of us

Well worth the breathless trip up the hill to see the school immortalized in countless photographs that cannot do it justice. Also good to be able to contribute to the restoration from the tragic fire. And view the interesting dynamics of students demonstrating for 24-hour studio access!

It was so interesting and my grandson had an exhibit. Just glad I had visited before the terrible fire at the Art College

Sad that the original building was burned and undergoing repair, but still had a nice time touring the school.

We were just two people early on a Sunday with less than one hour to spare. The lovely art student who offered us the tour tailored it to suit. She knew everything we wanted to find out and added the student perspective. The buildings are so different and beautifully designed and very very interesting. If I ever visit Glasgow again I will return and hope to see the outside without the scaffolding and the inside repaired from the fire.

Lovely to be able to view such a special building. The views are fantastic. The architecture and design are unrivalled. Definitely worth a visit.

We had a guided tour which was interesting-some history of the Art School & how C.R.Mackintosh came to design the building, but disappointing lack of information around the fire in the library & the rebuilding. Thought they would at least have some photos of the library before the fire & an update of how works have progressed. The furniture exhibits were good to see ,but they have as much if not more in Kelvingrove. Felt the entrance fee £9.75 was expensive for an hour, just have to think of it as a charitable donation!

On a very rainy and windy Glasgow day, this tour was the highlight of our day. Laura L was an excellent and very knowledgeable tour guide.. Despite the devastating fire which means the original building cannot be seen inside, she presented us with a wealth of information and with a lovely quiet sense of humour. I can't recommend this tour highly enough and we look forward to returning when the old building has been restored. That our fee contributes to the school and especially now the restoration made us very glad to make a very small contribution to this amazing school.

This is a really great way to spend an hour in Glasgow. The tour involves a short spell outside looking at the exterior of the beautiful McKintosh building. Then inside for a short but interesting tour of the new GSA building which is a beautiful space before moving into the furniture gallery which contains original pieces. Our guide Eve was knowledgeable and enthusiastic and made this a very enjoyable visit. It would have been good to have a better sense of how the new building is being used - maybe a floorplan in the foyer that the guides could reference before taking the tour group upstairs? Highly recommended!
