Glasgow's priceless Burrell Collection, once described as "one of the greatest gifts ever made to any city in the world", is to reopen today (Tuesday) after a multi-million pound refurbishment.
The collection's home in Pollok Country Park has been transformed into a modern, more environmentally friendly museum that will be able to show more of the items Sir William Burrell devoted decades of his life to amassing.
Professor Frances Fowle, senior trustee of Sir William Burrell Trust, hailed the almost £70m redevelopment as "an impressive undertaking that has delivered a spectacular home for this unique collection".
