Photographer Sylvia Richardson brings her Exhibition ‘Looking at Mackintosh’s Masterpiece’ to Mackintosh Queen’s Cross, one of the few largely unaltered Mackintosh buildings left in Glasgow.

Organisers said the exhibition was a "celebration of the unseen" and particularly poignant following the "sad destruction of Mackintosh’s Glasgow School of Art Building following two fires in 2014 and 2018."

"Corridors full of light and patterned shadows, reflections of beautiful sculptures, wood carvings and windows; Sylvia captures subtleties as part of her own artistic discovery of Mackintosh. We hope that you will join us in reflecting back on this unique architectural masterpiece."

The cause of the latest fire is still under investigation.

The exhibition will preview at Mackintosh Queen's Cross, 870 Garscube Road, Glasgow G20 on Friday and will open to the public from Monday, March 9 until April 3.
