About A Talk about Mackintosh’s Willow Tea Room Designs with Alison Brown

Alison curated the exhibitions ‘Charles Rennie Mackintosh - Making the Glasgow Style’ (2018-2019) for Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, Glasgow and Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool and its four-venue tour around North America as ‘Designing the New: Charles Rennie Mackintosh & the Glasgow Style’ (2019-2022). She was curator for the conservation and restoration of Mackintosh’s 1907 Oak Room interior (2015-2018), now on long term loan to V&A Dundee.
