What’s On
Come and see some of the preparatory designs that the Glasgow Boys made for the murals they carried out for Glasgow’s new City Chambers, finished in 1888. The Glasgow Boys, having carried out murals for the International Exhibition in Glasgow in 1888 were offered the commission. Their murals reanimated Glasgow’s ancient and medieval past, and controversially addressed the modern industrial city too. Led by Curator of British Art, Jo Meacock.
