===Unbuilt designs=== Although moderately popular (for a period) in his native Scotland, most of Mackintosh's more ambitious designs were not built. Designs for various buildings for the 1901 [[Glasgow International Exhibition (1901)|Glasgow International Exhibition]] were not constructed,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2015/feb/11/charles-rennie-mackintoshs-genius-shines-in-his-first-ever-retrospective|title=Mackmania!

Popular in Austria and Germany, his work received acclaim when it was shown at the [[Vienna Secession]] Exhibition in 1900. It was also exhibited in Budapest, Hungary, Munich, Germany, Dresden, Venice, Italy and Moscow, Russia.
