"The best experience from working in the Mackintosh Museum is that I can come into contact with various art works and I can have chance to hear talks by artists and communicate with them face to face, such as the show by Mariusz Tarkawian. I was able to have tutorial with him as I have the same interests in observing and quickly sketching people as him. During the exhibition, I was really lucky to express my ideas and getting great advice from him.

Additionally, I feel proud as one of the members of the team that represents international students.

My favourite architectural feature of the museum is the main wooden staircase which has concise straight shape and strong dark color. When I stand near the main stairs, the abstract symbol of Glasgow's Coat of Arms impresses me, and I enjoy looking down from the main stairs to see tourists pass the narrow stairs and walk into the bright and spacious museum space."
