Lonely Planet review

The Mackintosh House is the final section in the gallery. Set up as a reconstruction of Charles Rennie Mackintosh's Glasgow home (which had to be demolished), the Mackintosh House is startling even today. You ascend from the gallery's sombre ground floor into the cool, white, austere drawing-room. There's something otherworldly about the very mannered style of the beaten silver panels, the long-backed chairs and the surface decorations echoing Celtic manuscript illuminations.
