Some fun activities to do!

Today, for my last post, I decided to give you two opportunities to have fun and improve your knowledge in Glasgow!



Glasgow Science Centre 

Glasgow Science Centre is a visitor attraction located in the Clyde Waterfront Regeneration area on the south bank of the River Clyde. Queen Elizabeth II opened Glasgow Science Centre on 5 June 2001. It is one of Britain's most popular places to visit!
There is a lot to do here with three floors of fun!
Glasgow's Science Centre is one of the coolest places you can go to! 
You will find a large number of activities from simple illusions to more complicated activities from physics, math and biology, lots of interactive things to do for all ages! Indeed it is a great experience not only for kids but also for adults! There is also the planetarium show which I would recommend everyone to join the session because it was phenomenal. 
Besides, the staff were friendly and very informative.

The Mackintosh House

The Hunterian Art Gallery houses is one of the most important collections of the work of Scottish architect, designer and artist, Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868-1928) and his artist-wife, Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh (1864-1933).‌ 
The Mackintosh House is a meticulous reassemblage of the principal interiors from the Mackintoshes’ Glasgow home. 
This is a beautiful place where you can marvel at the beauty which is Mackintosh design.
The house was demolished in the early 1960s, but the original fixtures were preserved and reassembled, complete with the contents, as an integral part of the Hunterian Art Gallery.
The architects ensured that the sequence of rooms exactly reflected the original. The interiors have been furnished with the Mackintoshes' own furniture, all to Mackintosh's design.
If you want, you can have a guided tour costing £3. When I went there, the guide spoke too fast and too "local" so it was a little complicated to understand… but maybe you will have better luck!

I hope you’ll be going to these two places which are very interesting !!
