Also imagine living for two weeks in Glasgow, one of Britain’s oldest cities, while enjoying private behind-the-scenes tours and stimulating academic discussions on 18th- and 19th-century British architecture and design, collectors and collecting, and social history. Now stop imagining… An extraordinary opportunity for personal and professional enrichment can be yours this summer.
