Catering Feasibility Study – The Hunterian Museum & Hunterian Art Gallery

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

The Hunterian Museum is a stunning space filled with collections that explore the development of knowledge and understanding and the relationship between Glasgow, Scotland and the rest of the world.

The Hunterian Art Gallery is famous for its Whistler and Mackintosh collections and has a wide range of outstanding works on show. It was the first museum in Britian with a gallery of paintings and today the Hunterian Art Gallery holds one of the most distinguished public art collections in Scotland.

Mackintosh House – Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Margaret MacDonald were Glaswegian artists and designers whose style is now world famous. The Mackintosh House, now an integral part of the Hunterian Gallery, is a careful reassemblage of the main rooms from the Mackintoshes’ Glasgow home.

Within ten years The Hunterian will have been transformed. “Unlocking the Potential of The Hunterian: The Changing Museum” is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. The project will shape the future of The Hunterian and explore what is needed for a sustainable redevelopment of the public-facing venues, The Hunterian Museum and Hunterian Art Gallery.

Montfort Catering Consultants have been appointed to develop and deliver a market feasibility study for a catering offer in its Museum and Art Gallery venues. The project will integrate with the wider development to deliver outputs that will enable a next stage project to deliver significant redevelopment. As part of this catering has the potential to support in achieving the objectives including diversification of audiences and the development of more meaningful audience relationships.
