Glasgow is an encyclopaedia of lost and forgotten buildings, and stories. Join Norry Wilson, of Lost Glasgow, as he explores some corners of the disappearing city.

Organized by

The Hunterian @ The University of Glasgow

At the heart of the University of Glasgow since 1807, The Hunterian connects people with stories, individuals and ideas found in stunning collections of objects, belongings and artworks.

Today The Hunterian is a space for questioning and experimentation, for enjoyment and enrichment, for connection and collaboration and for reflecting on the role museums and individuals can play in furthering equity, justice and diversity in our society. 

We actively work to make The Hunterian a more relevant and meaningful place – for University students and staff, for Glaswegians, for Scots and for our global visitors.
