Glasgow Science Festival 2026

Go behind the scenes in The Hunterian collections to explore objects up close, as we imagine what museums might look like hundreds of years from now. Which objects might survive? How will climate change shape the way we store objects, and what we store? What will be the role of a museum in 2601, and who will decide it? Brought to you by the Hunterian Communications & Audiences Coordinator Eleni Stavrou and Curator of Scientific & Medical History Collections Nicky Reeves.
