🏛️ Tomorrow our CEO Lucy Casot will be making the case for museums to the Scottish Parliament's culture committee: she'll be calling for increased, multi-year investment to ensure Scotland's museums remain open, resilient, and responsive.

Text reading: "Scotland’s museums are essential civic infrastructure.
They deliver on: Education, Wellbeing, Tourism, Community, Local economies.
We know this. And we’re making sure that MSPs know this, too. "
