The Glasgow School of Art
Talk by Peter Trowles
Peter Trowles MLitt., FRSA is the Mackintosh curator at the Glasgow School of Art, which celebrated its centenary last year in 2009. The Mackintosh Building has recently undergone a £8.6 million conservation and access project, making the building and its collections accessible to the public, while still being a working art school.
Peter will talk about the conservation of the building and show a short film of the project. He will include an update on the proposals for the new campus, and make a tour of the other historical collections and archives. More information can be found on the website www.gsa.ac.uk

We are affiliated
to the main CRM Society in Glasgow and hold regular meetings in
York as well as arranging visits to Glasgow to view Mackintosh's
buildings. We have also extended the scope of our activities to include
visits to buildings designed by prominent contemporaries e.g. CFA Voysey,
MA Baillie Scott, G. Walton.
