St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art, built in 1993 close to Glasgow Cathedral and on the site of the long-lost Glasgow Castle. Its castle-like exterior is an attractive reminder of the earlier occupant of the site. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/glasgow/stmungomuseum/index.html
I wonder how many people notice these angels on the cloak of the Saint Mungo statue by George Frampton at the main entrance to Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in the west end of Glasgow.
A beautifully sculpted figure of Saint Mungo over the entrance of the former Glasgow Savings Bank on Ingram Street in Glasgow. I love the way selective guilding has been used to add to its impact.
Today is the feast day of St Mungo so I figured I would take another photo of his mural by SmugOne.
Surprisingly difficult to photography, north facing and unlit with akwardly placed streetlights. But got a nice sunset and quite happy with how it turned out.
Saint Mungo as the Patron of the Arts and Music by George Frampton. Created in 1900, it's set into the central arch of the main entrance to Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in the west end of Glasgow.
Kinetic Sculpture of Saint Mungo below the clock on the west face of the Tron Steeple in Glasgow.
Installed in 2001 and designed by Sharmanka, the sculpture is activated when the steeple bell tolls on the hour. The fish spins, the bird pecks and Saint Mungo raises his staff. I've no idea if it still functions, but I really hope it does.
