The Thomson meets Mackintosh  exhibition features Gerald Blaikie's architectural drawings of some of the best known works of Alexander Thomson and Charles Rennie Mackintosh, two of Scotland's most celebrated architects.
The exhibition was on display at the Mitchell Library in Glasgow from 2 August 'til 28 September 2007.

The exhibition contrasted Thomson's Classical vision, derived from the varied forms of the ancient world, against Mackintosh's freedom of style, influenced by the Arts & Crafts movement.
Glasgow's two architectural heroes are very different, but each stands on his own as a contributor to the city's unique built environment which is now becoming appreciated well beyond local boundaries.
