The Glasgow School of Art in Glasgow City

This place should be permanently closed after the damage caused to glasgow by the fire and the loss of o2 abc such a historic building but school of art caused the fire and gets save wonder what my this place has in there pocket

The school was designed in 1896 and was built in two phases (from 1897 to 1899 and from 1907 to 1909). Designed by architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh, it is made with stone and brick masonry and occupies the northern side of a steeply sloping site in the center of Glasgow. It combines handmade tiles characteristic of the Arts and Crafts movement and Art Nouveau with large industrial windows with some frames typical of the Viennese secession. The furniture was designed by the architect himself

Visited here before the fire. Amazing, iconic location. Had a tour inside the library, which was very impressive.

I'm happy to share my experience at The Glasgow School of Art! The institution's commitment to delivering high-quality education is evident in every aspect. As a student specializing in design, I have found it to be a great place to learn and connect with outstanding lecturers with a lot of both practical and theoretical experience. Even as a first-year student who joined as an advanced learner from year 3, I've been thoroughly enjoying every moment and discussion with my tutors. The classes are of great quality, providing valuable insights and fostering practical learning. It's been a rewarding experience, and I highly recommend The Glasgow School of Art for anyone seeking an enriching and fulfilling education in design.

Nice and light product. Promises widely respected!

Beautiful exhibition and great Art School

Це фантастична співпраця. Моя велика вдячність і повага.

Scuola di arte Glasgow. era 23maggio2014. c. Era. Un incendio.

Unhelpful teacher Chaotic management Relying on old fame Avoid to pay your fee to incompetent teacher Should shut down asap

So sad to think this burnt down twice.

My biggest regret is not going here when i had a chance to , such a great building and the fires were devastating , its one of Scotland's many gems....It has to be rebuilt to its former glory

RIP SCOTTISH ACTOR ROBBIE COLTRANE WHO ATTENDED HERE . BORN 10/3/1950 RUTHERGLEN , SCOTLAND . DIED 14/10/2022 RIP LEGEND

Purchased the Noisy Decoder, and from the packaging to the presentation and decoder, You can see how there's lots of love and dedication to a product that really helps in Your music making.

This is by far the best and most user friendly circle of fifths I have come across. It has already advanced my knowledge and understanding in just a few weeks of using it. Would recommend this to not only beginner guitarist, but experienced players as well!

Great customer service, particularly when the delivery companywide a mistake. Noisy Clan proactively stayed in touch, reassured me and the stand arrived. I'm still learning to use it, and am hoping that it will be as handy as it looks.

I’ve had better. Smells nice though

이 건물을 보러 글라스고우까지 왔는 데, 그 기대를 어기지 않았다.

Agréable , économique, et très bien situé près du centre.

Great place,free entry,must go.fun.teaching for all ages

Do not come here to study. Uninspiring, disorganised, I don’t know how they will cope after COVID.

Heartbreaking, but good to see that restoration continues

This institution has hit rock bottom. Everything is mismanaged and incredibly disorganized. The people here are very dishonest and every interaction with this school has been incredibly frustrating; they do not take students seriously at all. Complete waste of money. I highly do not recommend attending this institution. Anyone interested in applying should first look for recent student reviews online.

Definetely closed for tours but all other Mackintosh buildings are worth seeing.

Heutzutage, im Sommer 2019, blickt man hier nur wieder auf Baugerüste. Denn 2018 ist Architekt Mackintoshs Jugendstil-Ikone zum 2. Mal abgebrannt, das letzte Mal vorher war ein verheerender Brand in 2014, da hat man das Gebäude wieder aufgebaut. Wo blieb der Brandschutz nach dem Wiederaufbau 2014? Das müssen sich die Verantwortlichen wohl fragen. Hier studierten Mackintosh und seine Zeitgenossen, hier gaben sie dem Jugendstil eine ganz besondere, persönliche schottische Note. Die Antwort kam von Hoffmann aus Wien – man war vernetzt, wenn auch anders, als heute. Gerade Linien, Geometrie hier – kein Schlingpflanzen-Jugendstil wie in Nancy, sondern klare Formen. Schwarz, Weiß und sublime Pastelltöne. Einer der letzten großen Europäischen Stile in seiner besonderen Ausprägung großartig hier in Glasgow!

Would be nice if it stopped catching fire. Was nice though still

Beautiful building. Hope to see it back to its best ASAP. I was lucky to visit here before it’s first fire and it really is a sensational building inside and out. Such a massive piece of history for Glasgow and the world. It’s a must visit for anyone visiting Glasgow once it’s back to it proper state.

Decepção. Completamente fechado.

I had a tour which was just under an hour. Was very cheep, and was definitely worth it

to the review of Baa! below, i can only quietly respond as follows. our taxes pay for social and health issues in scotland...be grateful they do please. Yes, some of the money goes to the arts. remember you can walk into almost any gallery/museum in scotland for free! As for the art school....put aside for a moment that this beautiful building has been providing inspiration and daily beauty in the eyes of our art students for the last 4 or 5 generations...that should be reason enough to save it!! The fact that is a CRM design and probably his greatest work, should resonate with all glaswegians and all scots. this man has brought in countless millions of pounds to the city and country in tourism since his passing.(and the beautiful margaret mcdonald mcintosh of course) Yes, we have other CRM designs that are beautiful in the city, but please , take a minute, breathe and ponder the importance of this building historically and socially before you ask for its funding to be removed.

The 45 minute tour is well worth the small charge. Our student was very much up to speed with the history of Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Although the amount of his work you see is limited to a few pieces of furniture at the end of the tour, what she told us added detail to the story which helped enormously when seeing other CRM exhibits in the City.

Toured this fascinating site with Eimear, a current student, and found it highly informative. Highly recommended.

What a great historical building with very knowledgeable and convivial students. The building was designed by the famous architect mackintosh. The building is very beautiful. It would be better if we could see the studios with their huge north windows witch was a shame. Over all great experience would go again sometime. Leave a like please 👍🏻

The Mack is expected to open again as soon as restoration is complete. Can’t wait to 2019! Cute gift shop funding the restorations with some really good pieces designed by students at a very professional level . The Reid is an art school building where actual teaching takes place, not open to visitors unless registered during an Open day. There is a guided tour related to the Macintosh building.

Take some time to join a tour by one of the graduate students. Interesting history of Mackintosh and beautiful exhibition of Mackintosh's furniture. The building of the GSA is worth a quick view (both in- and outside), but most spaces inside are not accessible. By participating in the tour, you also contribute to the reconstruction of the Mackintosh school, opposite to the GSA.

One of the places to see on a Glasgow visit if you are interested in C. R. Mackintosh. Paid £7 for a 45 minutes tour. It supports the restoration of the original building which caught fire in 2014. It was a Hungarian student in her final year who conducted the tour. It was a pleasure listening to her. Loved the anecdote about the chair from the tea room on Sauchiehall.

J'y suis passé il y a longtemps. J'en garde un très bon souvenir. j'avais été impressionné par le style unique du bâtiment.

UGLY UGLY UGLY....what an ugly eyesore the new Reid Building is. An absolute insult to the beauty of the Mac Building. I'm utterly astounded as to how such an appalling big green bottle glass structure was ever allowed to overshadow an iconic building such as the Mac. Also the disgusting state of the streets is shocking with filthy pavements, huge smelly bins and broken roads and pavements. Shame on the architects, shame on Glasgow School of Art and shame on Glasgow for allowing this. Ask the local nursery school kids for their ideas next time...I'll bet they would come up with better ones!!

An excellent tour by one of the former students of the college.

The hub of creativity in Glasgow.

A must for any Macintosh enthusias.

Did not actually go into the historic building up across the radio to an exhibition about this famous building. Still in use. Payed tour was interesting.

Looks good. It is interesting how it looks live. Mackintosh.

When I saw it in August 2016 it was covered in scaffolding for renovations after the fire. It's not worth visiting until after the works are finished.

Leider, ist es momentan eine Baustelle.

The Mackintosh Building itself is a work of art. The original library was exquisite and we hope to return to visit again when the restoration is complete. Anyone with an eye or appreciation for hand crafts and art will love this tour.

The historic buildings are slowly being surrounded by poured concrete and steel panelled eyesores. A shame, as the original buildings are beautiful.

Only if you are really in to arts.

Bae is ah aboot it. Jus use mine at. Also known as 'a problem'

the building was designed by the famous architect Mackintosh. Hope the renovations after the fire to put the building back to its former glory

the best art school I've ever visit

Loved the place, i could spend the day there anytime, hope to be back next summer.

Just want to be back to school!

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour by a very knowledgeable and convivial student. My only gripe was that we weren't allowed to see the actual studios with their huge north facing windows which was a shame as I suspect this is one of the best features of the building. I guess you can't have tourists disturbing the students but still. Otherwise this is an impressive and unusual building.

Great tours of the school itself and of the architectural highlights of the city.

The nachos at the snack-bar were REALLY bad. Soggy chips and lumpy cheese.

We went along to an hour's tour of the Rennie Mackintosh School of Art. Originally the budget was £14,000 but CRM spent £40,000 (!) and you can see why - lovely detailing and craftsmanship everywhere. We were shown around by a friendly and knowledgeable former student who made the place come alive. Worth going just to see the library, which is stunning.

The most beautiful building in the world.
