Future Museum is built around the key areas that make the south-west so distinctive from the rest of Scotland – its people, industries and arts.
The website provides free access to the museum collections of Ayrshire and Dumfries & Galloway and creates a valuable resource for people of all ages.
Each year we hold an exhibition which you can visit at venues throughout the region. During Summer 2008 SOUTH BY SOUTH WEST tells the story of art in south-west Scotland. In three parts being shown simultaneously at venues across the region, the exhibition opens on 3 June at The Maclaurin Galleries in Ayr, The Tolbooth Art Centre in Kirkcudbright and The Dick Institute in Kilmarnock. Please check back soon to view SOUTH BY SOUTH WEST online interactives which will be added shortly.
