The next Wednesday adventure we had took us to Glasgow. Sam took us this day first to a grand house within the city. While this house, its grounds and the museum are seemingly located in the middle of the woods, it is actually less than twenty miles from the center of the city. While walking around the house (we didn't go in) we were able to glimpse two of Scotland's mascots: a Clydesdale horse and some Highland Cows.
Next we made our way to the museum that houses the Burrell Collection of Art. The building itself has huge windows that allow the visitor to see the beauty of the woods outside while studying the man-made beauty inside. This collection features many pieces of art ranging from Rodin, Degas and Cézanne, to late medieval art, Chinese and Islamic art, as well as relics from other ancient cultures.
