A statue of St Mungo above the doors to the museum. |
Mother and I walked to the museum along the beautiful tree lined Kelvin Way. There were so many wonderful things we saw! Some of which I had seen before, but some I had not. We also had a scrumptious lunch in the museum cafe. We spent the whole day in the museum, it was quite glorious!
This sculpture is entitled Wives of Fishermen, from 1914. |
This is a bust of Thenew, mother of St Kentigern, 1915. St Kentigern is St Mungo's real name. Mungo is more like a nick-name (but I prefer Mungo to Kentigern). |
We happened upon a collection of 18th Century dresses - all of them glorious! |
An embroidered pocket. |
An embroidered stomacher. |
Oh, oh, lovely 18th Century!!
ReplyDeleteOooh! Beautiful dresses. I love the mustard-colored one.
