The St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art is an award-winning haven of tranquility, and is thought to be the only public museum in the world devoted solely to the subject. It opened in 1993 and is located in Cathedral Square, on the lands of Glasgow Cathedral off High Street.
It houses exhibits relating to all the world's major religions, including Britain's first Zen garden and a sculpture showing Islamic calligraphy. It housed Salvador Dalí’s painting Christ of Saint John of the Cross during the recent refurbishment of Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. The museum aims to promote understanding and respect between people of different faiths and of none, and offers something for everyone.
It hosts a variety of events and workshops, including regular world music sessions with renowned musicians.
