About Members After Hours: Fashion and Style Gallery

National Museums Scotland Members can join us for a private and exclusive evening curator tour of our Fashion and Style gallery. 

After the museum closes to the public, Members are invited to explore the gallery in the company of Georgina Ripley, Principal Curator of Modern and Contemporary Design, and Lisa Mason, Assistant Curator of Modern and Contemporary Design.  

Georgina and Lisa will lead a 45 minute gallery tour, offering a closer look at the centuries of textile and fashion creativity and innovation on display in our galleries. Following the tour, Members will have the opportunity to ask questions.  

This a rare chance to enjoy the museum and our collections away from the crowds, in an intimate setting, thus seeing it from a new perspective.
