Lonely Planet review for Burrell Collection

One of Glasgow’s top attractions is the Burrell Collection. Amassed by wealthy industrialist Sir William Burrell before being donated to the city, it is housed in an outstanding museum, 3 miles south of the city centre. This idiosyncratic collection of treasure includes everything from Chinese porcelain and medieval furniture to paintings by Renoir and Cézanne. It’s not so big as to be overwhelming, and the stamp of the collector lends an intriguing coherence.
