Learning and outreach
Our museum collections offer a fascinating insight into the cultural heritage of South Lanarkshire. They are a wonderful resource for learning about topics as diverse as archaeology, home life, costume, leisure, and working life, including agriculture, weaving and coalmining.
The Museum Access team provides exciting, innovative and enjoyable learning opportunities for people of all ages and abilities throughout South Lanarkshire.
We offer activities, events and learning programmes for nurseries, schools, colleges, families and adults.
Our outreach programme allows us to take the collections and services beyond the museum itself and into the community at large.
From talks and tours to archaeology workshops and traditional festivals, or even helping us to develop and produce a local history exhibition, we offer hands-on fun and discovery for everyone!
