Early Years and Primary School pupils from three Local authority areas have been working with National Museums Scotland in an innovative project to create new resources to be used at other schools.
On 2 February 2012 the National Museums of Scotland Community Engagement team ran an open day at Methilhill Primary and Community School; giving pupils an opportunity to show off their work to other pupils in the school, their parents and wider families.

‘Museum2Go’has resulted in four new loans boxes and a mobile discovery dome, to be unveiled for the first time together at the National Museum of Scotland’s Learning Centre on Friday 18 May.

From giant creepy-crawlies to eye make-up pots covered in goats’ skin, rain sticks to a whole cheetah skin, pupils picked their topics and objects, inspired by the new National Museum of Scotland galleries which opened in July 2011.
