The Open Museum is Glasgow M​useums’ outreach service

The Open Museum is based at Glasgow Museums Resource Centre. It takes Glasgow’s museum collections beyond the museum walls and out into the community. There are object handling kits, displays and exhibitions available for loan. Among the 4,000 objects on offer, you will find a hippo skull, a triple mousetrap and an ancient Egyptian necklace!

It’s a free service that allows groups, venues and community event organisers in Glasgow to borrow museum objects and create displays.
