Why go
This is a slower Southside day for visitors who like to alternate galleries and green space. Give the Burrell Collection the longest visit so its broad collection does not feel rushed. The walk to Bellahouston Park provides a change of pace before House for an Art Lover brings the day back to design and interiors. The three stops form a manageable local outing, though the walk between the Burrell and Bellahouston is the longest of the route. Check the exhibition access at House for an Art Lover before travelling; its café and garden setting also make it a pleasant final pause.
