The main halls of the exhibition , with their high vaulted roofs, are magnificent in themselves. A highlight is the 1674 ‘Map of the Whole World’ in the World Culture section.

Located at the University of Glasgow , this is Scotland's oldest public museum . Do not miss the amazing permanent exhibitions of The Mackintosh House and the Lord Kelvin: Revolutionary Scientist.

Hunter was an anatomist & physician . As a gloriously well-rounded Enlightenment figure, he interested himself in everything: pickled organs in glass jars, dinosaur skeletons, deformed animals.
