Scotland Street School Museum
    
|
Designed between 1903 and
1906 by none other than Scotland's most famous architect Charles Rennie
Mackintosh: The Scotland Street School Museum is a wonderfully accurate
depiction of Scottish schools and the education system over the years.
This truly fascinating experience includes three fully reconstructed class rooms each representing a different era- from Victorian times, through World War 2 to the 50's and 60's. The cloakrooms, barrel vaulted cookery rooms and a ceramic-tiled 'drill-hall' amongst other things have also been restored to their original Mackintosh Design. Visitors are also offered the chance to listen to old pupils recollect on their school experiences through the years from the disciplinary methods of their teachers to war evacuations. The museum also encourages you to search database system for your families' old class pictures and test your design skills on the touch screen computers of the Mackintosh room. If visitors would like to experience for themselves a school experience during an era of their choice - the museum offers a 'back to school' role playing programme- so don't forget your homework! Located in the South of the city near Shields Road underground (Subway), the museum offers great transport links from around the city, café and gallery shopping facilities as well as free admission and wheelchair access. A must see for any Mackintosh enthusiast, or anyone with the slightest interest in the cities' history. |
