> Maggie Reilly was correct to point out that the Natural History

> renovations and redevelopments. The "Beginnings" gallery in the Museum
> of Scotland is still very much open with a mixture of geology and
> zoology displays. The new galleries, scheduled to open in 2011, will
> have 6 (or is it 7) Natural Sciences based exhibition galleries. There
> will also be an interactive/hands-on gallery called "Adventure Planet"
> which will feature activities for children and young adults. There will
> also be a programme of gallery talks and workshops for people of all
> ages which will involve both staff from Learning and Programmes and
