Festival of Museums
Festival of Museums is an annual three-day treat of exciting and innovative day- and night events in museums and galleries throughout Scotland.
The festival promises to offer locals and visitors a range of cultural experiences that will 'ignite imaginations'. It deliberately coincides with key cultural events on the European arts calendar, including Culture 24's Museums at Night.
Festival of Museums is about museums working together to celebrate Scotland's culture while simultaneously highlighting to people how museums and galleries offer great-value days out, all year round.
There are fantastic events and exhibitions happening all over the country during the Year of Creative Scotland. Look out for exciting new initiatives to complement a fantastic and enhanced, year-round cultural programme that shows off our creativity at its best – contemporary, international and reflecting the joy that a vibrant cultural life brings to our communities.
