The St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art is a museum of religion in Glasgow, Scotland. It is quoted as being the only
public museum in the world devoted solely to this subject, though another notable museum of this kind is the State Historical
Museum of Religion in St.Petersburg. The museum, which opened in 1993, is located in Cathedral Square, on the lands of
Glasgow Cathedral off High Street. The museum was constructed near site of the medieval castle complex of the Archbishops
of the diocese of Glasgow, parts of which can be seen inside the Cathedral and at the Peoples Palace Museum, at Glasgow
Green. The museum was built in an ersatz-medieval style to blend in with the nearby Provands Lordship House.
The museum houses exhibits relating to all the world's major religions, including a Zen garden and a sculpture showing
Islamic calligraphy. It housed Salvador Dalí’s painting Christ of Saint John of the Cross from its opening in 1993 until the
reopening of Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in 2006.
