House for an Art Lover

Set within the magnificent grounds of Glasgow’s Bellahouston Park and inspired by the designs of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, House for an Art Lover combines art gallery and exhibition space, events venue, café, multipurpose artists studios and magnificent visitor attraction into one unique and inspiring venue.

Originally designed by Mackintosh as an elegant country retreat for a person of taste and culture, today, more than 110 years later, House for an Art Lover exists to stimulate public interest in art, design and architecture. Through its studios, exhibitions, scholarships and access to learning for all ages, it has widened Mackintosh’s original vision to make House for an Art lover a house for everyone.

Why not take a wander around the Victorian walled garden, which is now incorporated into House for an Art Lover’s brand new Studio Pavilion and heritage centre. Indeed we even have our very own sculpture garden right here at the house.

Or relax and enjoy views of Glasgow and beyond before taking part in a wide variety of activities, which include:

• Glasgow Ski Centre
• Orienteering Courses
• Alice in Wonderland Maze
• Palace of Arts Centre for Sports Excellence
