Mackintosh's work grew in popularity in the decades following his death. A number of posthumous presentations of his designs have been implemented. [[The Mackintosh House]] (1981) is a dedicated structure by [[William Whitfield (architect)|William Whitfield]] to house the reconstructed interiors of the Mackintoshes former Glasgow home (sited nearby and demolished in 1963). The house forms an integral part of The [[University of Glasgow]]'s [[Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery]] home to the world's largest collection of Mackintosh's work. [[The Artist's Cottage project]], three unrealised designs from 1901, were constructed as interpretations near Inverness in 1992 and 1995. The [[House for an Art Lover]] was built in Glasgow's Bellahouston Park in 1996 as an interpretation of a design competition portfolio by Mackintosh and Macdonald from 1901.  Mackintosh's design language continues to be echoed in modern buildings in Glasgow - for instance the replacement [[Glasgow Sheriff Court]], built in the 1980s to a design by the successor firm to Mackintosh's old employer - Keppie Design - incorporates many interior features which are a modern interpretation of Mackintosh's style.

The [[Glasgow School of Art]] building (now "The Mackintosh Building") is cited by architectural critics as among the finest buildings in the UK. On 23 May 2014 the building was ravaged by fire. The library was destroyed, but firefighters managed to save the rest of the building.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/may/24/glasgow-school-of-art-fire-uk-government-help-pay-repairs|title=Library destroyed at Glasgow School of Art|work=Guardian.co.uk|access-date=25 May 2014}}</ref> On 15 June 2018, about a year before completion of the restoration of the building the School was again struck by fire. This second fire caused catastrophic damage, effectively destroying all the interiors and leaving the outer walls so structurally unstable that large sections of them had to be taken down to prevent uncontrolled collapse. Such was the global concern that a public commitment to faithfully rebuild The Mackintosh Building was made post-fire by then Director of The Glasgow School of Art, Tom Inns.

The Charles Rennie Mackintosh Society encourages greater awareness of the work of Mackintosh as an architect, artist and designer. The rediscovery of Mackintosh as a significant figure in design has been attributed to the designation of Glasgow as [[European City of Culture]] in 1990,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.theglasgowstory.com/story.php?id=TGSFB|title=The Glasgow Story: Modern Times|publisher=City of Glasgow Culture and Leisure Services|access-date=22 June 2009}}</ref> and exhibition of his work which accompanied the year-long festival. His enduring popularity since has been fuelled by further exhibitions and books and memorabilia which have illustrated aspects of his life and work. The growth in public interest has led to refurbishment of long-neglected buildings and increased public access: [[Scotland Street School Museum]] housed in Mackintosh's 1906 school building opened in 1990. [[78 Derngate]] Northampton opened as a visitor attraction in 2003. The [[Willow Tea Rooms]] re-opened following an extensive restoration in 2018.

The [[Metropolitan Museum of Art]] in New York City held a major retrospective exhibition of Charles Rennie Mackintosh's works from 21 November 1996 to 16 February 1997. In conjunction with the exhibit were lectures and a symposium by scholars, including Pamela Robertson of the Hunterian Art Gallery, Glasgow art gallery owner Roger Billcliffe, and architect J. Stewart Johnson, and screening of documentary films about Mackintosh.<ref>''Charles Rennie Mackintosh: Gallery Plan and Program Guide'' (1996).

Charles Rennie Mackintosh was commemorated on a series of [[banknotes of the pound sterling|banknotes]] issued by the [[Clydesdale Bank]] in 2009; his image appeared on an issue of £100 notes.<ref name="banknotes">{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/7828554.stm|title= Banknote designs mark Homecoming|date=14 January 2008|work=BBC News|access-date=20 January 2009}}</ref>

In 2012, one of the largest collections of art by Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the Glasgow Four [[Glasgow School]] was sold at auction in Edinburgh for £1.3m. The sale included work by Mackintosh's sister-in-law Frances Macdonald and her husband Herbert MacNair.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-19523701|title= Art collection, including Mackintosh, sells for £1.3m.|date=7 September 2012|work=BBC News|access-date=7 September 2009}}</ref>

In July 2015 it was announced that Mackintosh's designs for a tearoom would be reconstructed to form a display in [[Dundee]]'s new [[V&A Dundee|V&A museum]]. Although the original building which housed the tearoom on Glasgow's Ingram Street was demolished in 1971 the interiors had all been dismantled and put into storage.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://www.scotsman.com/lifestyle/arts/visual-arts/v-a-to-recreate-lost-charles-rennie-mackintosh-work-1-3824707 |title = V&A to recreate lost Charles Rennie Mackintosh work| date=30 August 2022 }}</ref> The restored "Oak Room" was revealed when V&A Dundee opened to the public on 15 September 2018.

In June 2018, a mural depicting Mackintosh and using elements of his distinctive style was created in Glasgow to honour the 150th anniversary of the artist's birth.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://glasgowdiscovered.co.uk/art/charles-rennie-mackintosh-glasgow-history-through-street-art/|title=Charles Rennie Mackintosh – Glasgow History Through Street Art|date=20 October 2019|website=Glasgow Discovered {{!}} Showcasing Independent Music and Arts|language=en-GB|access-date=9 November 2019}}</ref> It is made by Glasgow street artist, Rogue One and commissioned by the Radisson Red.
