Discovering Degas: Collecting in the Time of William Burrell
The Burrell Collection, Glasgow
THE Burrell Collection is an extraordinary museum not only because of its stunning and sensitively refurbished building — sheer glass and sandstone set amid lush Scottish woodland in the heart of Glasgow’s Southside — but also because of its focus.
The Burrell is not arranged around any theme, period, school or medium but instead has as its organising principle the taste of a single turn of the 20th century Glaswegian capitalist.
