About this Event
From Well to Well Spring
Last year, as part of Glasgow 850, one of the city’s oldest treasures, the 13th century St Mungo’s Well in Glasgow Cathedral, was excavated for the first time in living memory by collective Aproxima Arts working with Professor Stephen Driscoll, leading archaeologist at Glasgow University and David Sneddon of Clyde Archaeology.
The ancient well was then transformed by the installation of a gently glowing mosaic artwork created by Aproxima with artist Joanna Kessel designed by James Johnson.
Visitors to GCHT can see the exhibition, From Well to Wellspring, telling the story of the creation of the new mosaic artwork, the history of the well and a display of artefacts retrieved from the excavation including dice, rings, glasses and coins from around the world.
