THE GLASGOW HISTORY MURAL Ken Currie

The Glasgow History Mural was commissioned on the 200th anniversary of the Calton Weaver Massacre in 1987. The panels are displayed on the ceiling of the People's Palace. Glasgow Artist Ken Currie was chosen to interpret the history of the city's workers. "...I wanted to represent a cycle of images that showed the ebb and flow of an emergent mass movement, where the real heroines and heroes were the many unknown working class Scots who fought so selflessy for their rights..." Ken Currie The eight panels depict scenes of struggle and protest, defeat and victory.

Panel One: Weavers Struggles	Panel Two: Radical Wars
