About This Event

Explore the life, works and tales of Glasgow’s most famous designer, architect and artist. Join us as we wander the streets of Mackintosh’s home city to experience and witness his lasting legacy. With your expert guide, you’ll take a deeper look at his life, marriage, influences and incredible expertise; visiting some of his most famous works that still stand to this day, his first married home, and some lesser known treasures along the way. Along the way you’ll learn about the temperance movement of the times that inspired Mrs Cranston, Glasgow’s leading tea shop entrepreneur, who commissioned Mackintosh to design her famous tearooms.
