Summer Activities

We know that many of our younger visitors and their families are already looking forward to the School Holidays and we are delighted to be able to offer a really exciting programme of activities to fill some of those lovely, long days.  Each is designed to offer a fun and creative way to find out more about Highland Heritage and also to make something splendid to take away as a memory of Inverness Museum & Art Gallery.

Weaving Magic
