The Burrell

Overview

Client - Burrell Collection

Designer - Event Communications

Project Director - Dal Chana

Project Manager - Kathryn Iliffe

The team spent 3 and a half years refurbishing 36 galleries and increasing the size of the museum by 35%. The collection, of almost 9000 objects, was gifted to the city of Glasgow in 1944 by Sir William Burrell and his wife Lady Constance. 

It takes visitors on a tour of 50 countries across 6000 years of history, from 4000 BC to the turn of the 20th century. A key condition of bequeathing the collection was a stipulation Sir William made, that it must remain housed in one building.
