World’s first ever interactive stained glass window
Maryhill Burgh Hall News
Maryhill Burgh Halls, Glasgow reveals the world’s first ever interactive stained glass window.
Scan the 2D barcode in the window with a smartphone, and you are taken to a webpage explaining the designs and given information about the glass.
While the new glass is as modern as can be, stained glass in Maryhill has a long history: in 1878, the then Burgh commissioned twenty stained glass windows to showcase the trades and industries of Maryhill. They were designed by the artist Stephen Adam, and have become known as the crown jewels of Maryhill.
In 2010, Maryhill Burgh Halls Trust decided to commission ten new stained glass windows, to celebrate the completion of the multi-million pound restoration of the Halls.
