Visitors are warmly welcomed to discover this iconic architectural gem on our award-winning, student-led guided tours.

Over a century since its completion, Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s ‘masterwork’, The Glasgow School of Art, continues to fulfil its original purpose as a vibrant and hard working institution. Visitors are warmly welcomed to discover this iconic architectural gem on our award-winning, student-led guided tours.
 
Experience the jewel in the crown of Mackintosh’s legacy, with a guided tour through original interiors laced with intriguing furniture, ironwork and stained glass. Explore the building’s construction and identify Japanese influences, evidence of Scottish Baronial tradition and design details inspired by nature.  Learn about Mackintosh’s remarkable life, his commitment to ‘total design’ and his influence on the international Art Nouveau movement.  
 
Interiors accessible by guided tour only. Tours depart from GSA Shop daily 
Mackintosh Interpretation Space & GSA Shop open 10am - 5pm with extended hours March - November.
