Museum is awarded UK honour

Glasgow's religious museum has been recognised with a prestigious UK prize.

St Mungo's Museum of Religious Life and Art in Castle Street, near Glasgow Cathedral, has been given the Shap Award.

It is awarded annually to someone, or some organisation, that has made an outstanding contribution to religious education.

St Mungo's is one of only three museums worldwide dedicated solely to religion.

It explores the significance of belief in people's lives and its education programme aims to promote understanding between people of different faiths and of none.
