Scotland Street School Museum

The Scotland Street School Museum is a museum in Glasgow housed in a primary school building designed by architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh and completed around 1906. It interprets the history of schooling in the city using the original school building as its primary exhibit.

Exhibits recreate classroom settings and display period furniture, teaching materials and photographs to illustrate daily school life in the early 20th century. The museum presents hands-on displays and occasional guided activities aimed at children and school groups.

The building was commissioned by the Glasgow School Board and designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh; it later ceased use as a working primary school and was converted to a museum by the city. The fabric and interior layout of the building are key parts of the museum collection and interpretation.

The museum sits on Scotland Street in the city of Glasgow, Scotland, within the urban area managed by Glasgow Museums. It is accessible from central Glasgow by local public transport.
