Join us in the Let’s Talk space as we explore our collections and bring out a selection of materials not normally on display. 

Feeling the need for a home makeover? Have your springs finally sprung? Fear not, the Mitchell can help. 

How about seeking inspiration from times past? To celebrate 100 years of Ideal Home magazine we are displaying some very early editions from the 1920s along with selected issues from various decades.

Or if you’re looking for something a bit more modern, relax and put your feet up with this month’s edition which is free to download for Glasgow Library members.
