Dancing through life!

We’ve teamed up with our friends at Shaper/Caper to launch a new video series, bringing the Scottish Design Galleries to life through movement and dance!

Watch the latest video below and look out for a new family-friendly adventure every season, with stories inspired by an exciting mix of objects and design themes.

This summer the series kicks off with a WILD Party, joining the creatures for a night in the museum.
