~ St Mungo’s Museum of Religion, Glasgow ~
Before I left Glasgow Museums, I curated the display of the stained glass within St Mungo’s Museum of Religion, opposite the Cathedral in Glasgow.
I trawled through the reserve collections within the Burrell, Kelvingrove and People’s Palace to find the best and most interesting Religious glass within Glasgow’s archive.
I conserved some of the windows and designed the protective UV glazing and internal isothermal system which has remained fully functional since 1992.
