The Muscular Arms
THE MUSCULAR ARMS THE STARLITE ROOM OTHER FUN STUFF

Experience the interior extravaganza of the Muscular Arms Pub in St. George's Place, Glasgow, Scotland, by artists, Kraska, Smith and Keenan.   "This indescribable performance, is, no doubt, a unique event created at one particular and unrepeatable moment in the whirl of pop-art taste." ...... said the Scottish Arts Review in 1974.

Created in 1971 and enjoying immense popularity for well over a decade, this remarkable interior had many imitators but no successful rivals.   "Musky's" as it came to be known, gained a special place in the hearts of Glaswegians, and its demise was much lamented.

Here we display a small surviving sample of the interior.   Sadly, the bulk of the photographic record has been lost in the hands of others.    However, we will update the page if additional material comes to light.

In "Other Fun Stuff", we have included items designed and produced by the same team for another project in the city.   Kraska and Smith may be spotted among this motley crew.   Enjoy!
