Welcome!
St Mungo Museum is named after the city's patron saint who brought the Christian faith to Glasgow in the 6th century. It is built on the site of the medieval Bishops’ Castle and is designed in its style. The galleries are full of displays, objects and stunning works of art that explore the importance of religion in peoples’ lives across the world and across time.
The venue aims to promote understanding and respect between people of different faiths and those of none and offers something for everyone. There are regular events, from family-friendly activities to talks about culture and religion in Scotland today. Or you can relax in the first Zen garden in Britain.
Entry is free and no advance booking is required, just drop in. We look forward to seeing you.
There is a Historic Scotland shop on site at the museum selling local gifts, souvenirs and grab and go refreshments.
