Introduction
The Glasgow School of Art in Scotland is the only independent art school in the region. Its building was designed by the renowned architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh, and its art style belongs to the concise and powerful Art Nouveau movement. Inside the school, you will see many geometric designs and italicized Art Nouveau fonts. However, in a major fire on May 23, 2014, the main building of the school was severely damaged. Therefore, you may not be able to visit the inside of the school in recent years. But you can still take an hour-long Mackintosh Tour to learn about Mr. Mackintosh's journey from a young and naive student to a unique master architect. Please note that only 20 people are allowed to participate in this tour per hour. Address 167 Renfrew Street Glasgow G3 6RQ, UK
Opening hours Guided tours with different schedules are available every day depending on the season. Please refer to the website for details.
Transportation Take the subway to Cowcaddens SPT station, then turn left and walk to Rose Street. After crossing two intersections, turn right onto Renfrew Street and you will see it.
