Joined a guided tour led by Alistair. He informed and entertained us. This was a much better way to experience the collection than wandering around on your own. I would definitely join a tour the nex…Full review by Audreycowan

I brought my friend to the Burrell Collection and I'm afraid she said it made her feel sick and disoriented and questioning her sanity. I have to agree. The artefacts from different periods and cultu…Full review by Sinead N

Hi yes it is closing for refurb soon I think. It is ideal for wheelchairs as it is flat and the car park is close by and there is a disabled drop off area aswell. Cafe on lower ground floor but lift available. Lots of space to move about between exhibits. Best to phone to ask about closure.
Hi. Is it worth visiting on a two day trip to Glasgow next week? Or is there somewhere better to see? Also what's the best way to get there without a car? I heard there were buses running regularly that were much cheaper than the train...

I have only visited by car so I can't advise on transport options. However, I would thoroughly recommend a visit to see this wonderful and unique collection, which is housed in a modern, purpose built setting. I have never seen a collection of similar items anywhere else in the world and could have spent so much more time there. If you like visiting older, historical properties, why not combine the Burrell Collection with a visit to the adjoining Pollok House and Country Gardens? You can walk between the two very easily (15 minutes-ish in a pleasant and quiet country setting) and we found Pollok House and its guides very interesting and informative. Pollok House also has a very good restaurant/café, which is good for snacks and larger meals and are all home cooked. All in all, a good day out in the area and I will go back when I am next in Glasgow.

Hi portsmouth10 You can get a train from Central Station to Pollokshaws West. There are four trains an hour. It is quite a long walk through the park to reach the museum, so check the map at the station and the entrance to Pollok Country Park to make sure you know the way. Further details at the Burrell pages of the Glsgow Life website.
