The ACC comprises almost 300 works by the School’s most famous alumni, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, and reflects the enormous impact that he has had on the world of art, design and architecture. Equally important is the School’s non-Mackintosh Collection, which contains a broad cross-section of work (in all media) by other former staff and students clearly reflecting changing attitudes to the visual arts, design and the built environment, primarily in Glasgow, over the past 160 years.

The NAI was formed in 1988 by a merger of The Stichting Architectuurmuseum, the Nederlands Documentatiecentrum voor de Bouwkunst, and Stichting Wonen. These three organizations placed their collections in the care of the new institute. The NAI keeps and cares for roughly 800 archives and individual collections created by Dutch architects, urban designers, professional associations and training institutes. They date from the period 1800 – 1970. Our goal has always been to collect complete archives. Besides museum quality drawings, you also find sketches, preliminary designs, working drawings, business and personal correspondence, photographs, models, collections of press clippings, and published articles.
