Access to Hunterian Museum

SUNDAY 13 UNTIL SUNDAY 20 OCTOBER 2024

Access to the Hunterian Museum will be affected by planned activities on the University campus from Sunday 13 until Sunday 20 October 2024.

There will be no access to the Cloisters in the Main Building on the Gilmorehill campus.

The Grand Staircase to the Museum should therefore be accessed via the East Quadrangle doorway.

The Hunterian Museum can also be accessed by lift. This is located opposite the University Gift Shop.

Visitors requiring assistance should call our Visitor Experience team on 0141 330 4221.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. Our venues remain open as usual.

  • There is a limit to the number of objects/specimens available to researchers on each visit.
