Did you catch our smallpox exhibition yet? Still plenty of time and it is well worth a view -even if we do say so ourselves 😜

The @glasgowpenguins.bsky.social are putting on a fine dispaly for Christmas this year. Well worth checking out if you're around the West End. For those who don't already know, they can be found on the Kelvin Walkway near the old North Woodside Flint Mill.
