Finally got up to see the Burrell Collection today, well just over half if it, will need to return to see the rest.
Interesting & varied collection, well worth a visit.

Another free day in #Glasgow on Wednesday.
Nobody wanting a meeting or social event.
Might go to #pollackpark to check out the Highland coos and the #BurrellCollection.
Haven’t been a tourist in my own city for ages.
Designed in the 1970s and opened in 1983, the glass reflects the surrounding trees, while allowing as much light as possible into the building itself.

Some more Chinese figures at the Burrell, this time some rather gorgeous horses. (Again apologies for the reflections.)

I’m taking you with me to the Burrell Collection today, and three Chinese figures which particularly caught my eye. (Apologies for all the reflections! They’re in glass cases, in a gallery with floor-to-ceiling windows!)

I love #gelliprinting These are two #Monoprints from the same image. It is a transfer of an image I took of a statue in #burrellcollection a couple of years ago. Coloured using brushes and rollers 😊
The eagle-eyed amongst you will spot my dog reflected in the glass door as she patiently waits for me to stop interupting her morning walk once again with yet more photographs of buildings!

Woven tapestry with an interior scene on the left; a visitor ‘Jenuari’ in a fur-lined gown sits at a table in front of a large fire and is served food and drink by a wealthy family, a mille-fleur tapestry in background, a dog in the foreground. On the right an exterior scene with a man riding a horse, another collecting firewood, and five men playing hockey in the foreground.
For #TextileTuesday here’s a lovely #tapestry c1500 depicting #January in #BurrellCollection showing a wealthy family host a guest - who they’ve sat in the best seat next to the fire. It was lent by Mrs Burrell to the 1901 Glasgow International Exhibition #textilehistory
