Back To The Drawing Board

Join us during Maths Week Scotland for some special themed family activities in the gallery as you explore our "Back to the Drawing Board" exhibition.
Go on a shape hunt; can you find triangles, circles and squares among our exhibits?
Measure the museum - how big are our displays?
Create some shape art using the light boxes provided.
Or follow the on-screen tutorial which talks you through how to draw 3D shapes.
These activities and equipment are all freely available in the gallery 12 noon- 4pm Monday to Saturday, or ask at reception if you need any help.
