We visited Glasgow's Burrell Collection for its reopening and were blown away

The reopening of The Burrell Collection after a five-year, £69m revamp, has provided a welcome shot in the arm to Glasgow's cultural scene following the difficulties posed by the pandemic.

The collection has been transformed into a modern, environmentally friendly museum which will be able to show more of the items Sir William Burrell devoted decades of his life to amassing.

With the museum now enjoying a 35% increase in gallery space, items that have not been seen for decades are now on show from Burrell's collection, which has been described as "one of the greatest gifts ever made to any city in the world."
