Just a wee heads up that we've added a few more events and exhibitions to our website (both IRL and digital!). So - if you're at a loose end, take a look... https://t.co/q8S2JVr4jc

We only hope that in future the funding situation improves and we can re-start all the amazing work made possible by having our Coordinator in post. In the meantime, sending you all a virtual wave. Keep in touch.

Alas, this will be our last post for the foreseeable. Due to our drop in funding through the @ScotFundCouncil we no longer have the resource to keep our Coordinator (our 'mouthpiece'). So @UniMuseumsScot might be quiet, but we’ll still be here so do still get in touch.

We are grateful for all support to address this funding decision by @ScotFundCouncil that delivers no meaningful financial benefits, but does do serious damage to an already fragile system @UnivMuseumsGrp @umac_icom @MuseumsGalScot @MuseumsAssoc @Universeum_eu @UniMuseumsScot

Fascinating to explore the @uoacollections Legacies of Slavery exhibition. It shines a light on how slavery is woven into the fabric of the city and how it’s legacy continues today. On until December. Disturbing but important to learn about the city’s past!

Standup comedian and YouTuber, Bruce Fummey, will be appearing at the University of Aberdeen on 2 October. But this won't be one of Bruce's regular comedy nights - this time it's personal.
