Dear Jan If not too late for Elee - The Royal Albert Memorial Museum, Exeter holds superb Natural History collections, and although RAMM is currently closed for redevelopment, upon reopening (in 2011) there will be dedicated Nat.Hist. galleries, as well as a great deal of Natural History material combined with other collections. While closed, we have a small exhibition space in the Exeter Library which combines examples across the RAMM collections and we have been lending a range of collections, inc. some Nat. Hist., to museums across the S.W. in a series of temporary exhibitions. www.rammuseum.org.uk has more information about the range of collections held at RAMM. Best Wishes Alison Hopper Bishop Head of Conservation RAMM ________________________________ From: The Natural Science Collections Association discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Freedman, Jan (COMMUNITY SERVICES) Sent: 26 February 2010 16:57 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Natural History Galleries Hi All, Thanks for your responses for the natural history gallery information for Elee Kirk.

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 curators. We are still in the developmental stage of all this, but some information is available at: http://www.nms.ac.uk/royal_museum_project.aspx Have a great weekend everyone Peter Davidson Curator of Minerals National Museums Collection Centre National Museums Scotland 242 West Granton Road Edinburgh EH5 1JA Phone: +44 131 247 4283 [log in to unmask] www.nms.ac.uk Meet Your Maker, the creative minds behind Scotland's crafts.
