BBC - The Man who Collected the World: William Burrell (2013) Movies

Posted by notbanned at Dec. 24, 2017

William Burrell made a fortune out of shipping and spent it on art.

Kirsty Wark tells the story of the self-effacing collector and tours the highlights of his collection in the company of its curators.
