2. House for an Art Lover

Designed by celebrated local Rennie Mackintosh, who drew the plans for the home to enter a contest in 1901, this house wasn't actually built until the mid-1990s. Several permanent exhibitions are on display in rooms such as the Music Room and the Oval Room, most showing Mackintosh's designs and some of his crafts and drawings. But the main exhibit here is the house itself, with stark contrasts, ornate metalwork, and massive doors leading to graceful balconies.   (© 10Best)

Probably the best way to see Mackintosh's creations. Several rooms filled with furniture and furninshings created from plans by Mackintosh and his wife. Since you can walk through the rooms and take pictures closeup, it gives you a thorough feel for all aspects his work. Well worth the visit.
