Scotland’s oldest public museum, The Hunterian is home to one of the country’s largest collections outside the National Museums. Visitors can browse exhibits covering the history of medicine in the west of Scotland and examine rare coins, paleontological specimens, and archaeological finds from the Roman-era Antonine Wall, which ran coast-to-coast across Scotland.
The art gallery features the world’s largest permanent display of the work of James McNeill Whistler, as well as pieces by Rubens, Rembrandt, and the Glasgow Boys. Free student-led tours, lasting around 30 minutes, take place regularly and are available on a drop-in basis.
