Designed with Pride!

We are proud to be an inclusive and welcoming hub for the LGBTQ+ community, with an emphasis on providing a space for all to feel represented.

This June, we have workshops and events that explore the role that design has played in LGBTQ+ history.

Within the museum, you can also explore the hidden histories of many of the museums iconic objects, and the untold stories of the LGBTQ+ designers behind them, with our Lavender Labels in the Scottish Design Galleries.

Lavender Labels

Explore the hidden histories of many of the museums iconic objects, and the untold stories of the LGBTQ+ designers behind them, with our Lavender Labels in the Scottish Design Galleries.

These purple labels reinterpret objects already in the gallery from an LGBTQ+ perspective, exploring queer histories and connections sparked by some of the objects.

The Lavender Labels were co-written with the LGBTQ+ Working Group, Keava McMillan, Glyn Davis, Jeff Meek and OurStory Scotland.
