Pollock House Museum

The Pollock House Museum is one of the many cultural and architectural attractions in Glasgow, Scotland. This elegant mansion is the ancestral nest of the Maxwell family, which is currently under the care of the National Trust of Scotland. It was built in 1752 in the Georgian style by the famous architect William Adam.

Now in the House of Pollock there are many collections of world importance, among them - samples of Spanish painting, as well as glass, silver, porcelain figurines and antique furniture. The pearls of the exhibition are paintings by such masters as Goya, Blake and El Greco.

There are no superfluous hyperbolic details in the architecture of the House of Pollock, everything is as strict as possible and at the same time harmonious. The building has three floors, on both sides of it there are two symmetrical annexes, differing only in the location of smokers. To the entrance to the house leads a small staircase, under which there is a beautiful flower bed. Part of the territory of the mansion is occupied by wonderfully decorated gardens, where about 1000 species of rhododendrons grow, as well as parks with views of forests, fields and other picturesque places.
