Project Breakout at Almond Valley Heritage Trust

Almond Valley Heritage Trust received funding from Museums Galleries Scotland to reimagine our museum and collections for the future. The aim is to inspire an enriched visitor experience and better integrate the museum and built heritage into the visitor journey.

Building a Museum of the Future

This major initiative includes key elements such as:

  • STEAM Learning Programme: Co-designing a new educational programme with local schools, focused on Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics.
  • Community Engagement & Climate Action: Positioning the museum as a central space for discussing important social issues, including climate change, and fostering positive, active citizenship.
  • Co-created exhibits: You will shape the themes and stories in our exhibition spaces and create exhibits for the future. 

Through Project Break Out, we aim to create a museum experience that reflects both our past and present, while being relevant to today’s audiences and future generations. Your involvement in upcoming events will play a key role in this transformative process, helping us build a more engaging, inclusive, and forward-facing cultural hub for our community.

Museum Evaluation Event – Have Your Say!

As part of our ongoing efforts to improve and grow our programmes, we are hosting a Museum Evaluation Event (please see dates and times below). The event will feature a series of fun feedback activities, including hands-on experiences, group discussions, and crafts.
