The Open Museum is Glasgow Museums kit loan and outreach service. Our kit loan service offers over 80 themed handling and reminiscence kits containing museum objects and photographs. These can be borrowed free of charge by community groups based in Glasgow.

We have recently collaborated with the National Library of Scotland Moving Image Archive to refresh some of the films in our loan kits. The films can be accessed by following a QR code on matt laminated sheets which have been added to our boxes. We have been getting great feedback from groups that have borrowed the updated kits!
