The Burrell Collection in Glasgow has welcomed 500,000 visits since it reopened at the end of March 2022 following a major refurbishment by John McAslan + Partners, and has therefore made it to number nine on the list of Scotland's most-visited tourist attractions in 2022.
"The Burrell Trustees are delighted that the new-look Burrell Collection has already attracted so many visitors, both local and international. This is testament to the quality of the collection, which has been imaginatively redisplayed and reinterpreted in a magnificent, state-of-the-art museum that offers something for everyone."
Professor Frances Fowle
Senior Trustee, Sir William Burrell Trust
