Talks + Tours 3 / Glasgow’s Renaissance Glass

Through the generous gift of Sir William Burrell and his wife Lady Constance in 1944, Glasgow is home to one of largest and most spectacular collections of medieval and Renaissance stained glass in the world. A fine selection of glass from the Burrell Collection can be found at St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art, where this enlightening talk will commence.

Join Curator of Medieval and Renaissance Art, Edward Johnson, and explore the methods and innovative techniques used by skilled glaziers and painters throughout this era to create captivating and elaborate images in glass. The tour will continue to the cathedral itself, where we examine some of the fine Renaissance glass to be found amongst its own exceptional collection. Limited spaces available, so book now to avoid disappointment!
