Valerie Spence: Historical Costumed Dolls (Second Instalment)

We are excited to announce the second instalment of the Historical Costumed Dolls exhibition and while we are sad to say goodbye to characters such as Diana and Nicholas, we welcome Bonnie Prince Charlie, Madame de Pompadour and Nell Gwynn. 

These historical costumed dolls cover the period 1610 to 1775 and will be on display until the beginning of December when the third and final instalment will take centre stage.

Scottish Co-Op Exhibition: At the Cornerstone of the Scottish Community

This new exhibition has been developed to highlight the work by the team on creating the new Scottish Co-operative Discovery Centre at the old co-op bakery building in West Calder. 

The exhibition tells the story of the Scottish Co-operative Movement and displays items associated with the co-op in West Lothian and beyond including commemorative objects and items that would have been sold in store. 

 

Help required! 

The Scottish Co-operative Discovery Centre team need your help.  

They are looking for your stories and memories of the co-op or if you have any photos or objects connected to the co-op that you might consider donating. 

If you can help, please email museums@westlothian.gov.uk.  Thank you. 😊
