This weekend, May 15-17, museums and galleries across the north-east are taking part in Scotland’s annual Festival of Museums.
The programme of events has been specially curated to give visitors a fascinating glimpse inside local museums, such as Caithness Horizons, Grampian Transport Museum and Glenesk Folk Museum.
Many attractions are also planning one-off Museums at Night events. Aberdeen Maritime Museum is hosting a nautical murder mystery called Murder on the High Seas, while the Zoological Museum at Aberdeen University is celebrating all things Egyptology at An Ancient Egyptian Adventure, complete with real-life desert animals such as snakes and scorpions.
Joanne Orr, chief executive of Museums Galleries Scotland, said: “Festival of Museums is about igniting imaginations while celebrating Scotland’s wealth of culture. There is a packed programme this year, with lots of extraordinary, surprising and exciting events over three fun-filled days.”
