## What is Go Glasgow?

2018 was the 150th anniversary of the birth of one of the world's most remarkable and influential architects, Glasgow-born Charles Rennie Mackintosh.

To honour and celebrate the man and his work the City of Glasgow has installed an innovative network of Bluetooth beacons at all Mackintosh venues. Walking around the city, each beacon communicates with the Go Glasgow app to reveal the story of each building as you arrive or pass by.

The app also provides practical information for each venue, CRM news & events and a map of all the venues:
