20th April - 27th May 2026

The history of the Glasgow Coat of Arms is the history of Glasgow itself. Inspired by the stories of St Mungo, Glasgow’s patron saint, the city’s emblem has evolved over hundreds of years.

The bird, tree, bell and fish have appeared in many different forms over time with additions, omissions and adaptations shaping the familiar symbols we still see across the city today.

This exhibition features pictures contributed by Glaswegians -old and new- showing both familiar takes on historic versions of the City Arms and fresh, original designs.
