Hunterian Museum : Attraction of Glasgow

This museum houses the collection of William Hunter (1718-83), who was a student at Glasgow University, and later a physician and medical teacher. Hunter put together a remarkable collection of artefacts including coins, fossils, dinosaur eggs, Romano-British stone slabs and carvings, and some of Captain Cook’s souvenirs from the South Seas.

The Hunterian Art Gallery is just across the road from the Hunterian Museum, and has a fine collection of oil paintings by such artists as Samuel Peploe, JD Fergusson, Francis Cadell and James McNeill Whistler. Admission is free.

Hours: Mon-Sat 9:30am-5:00pm
